The Harder They Come

1972 • dir Perry Henzell w/Jimmy Cliff • 120 min • DCP

Fifty years on, THE HARDER THEY COME is still electric with the feeling of discovery. This blend of crime drama and reggae music tracks Cliff’s country-boy-in-search-of-fame through Jamaica under the guises of laborer, recording artist, convict, ganja dealer, and outlaw folk hero.
