Babylon

A young dancehall DJ in South London pursues his musical ambitions, battling fiercely against the racism and xenophobia of employers, neighbours, police, and the National Front. The plotline’s swift descent into chaos from which neither side can return could so easily serve as a present-day metaphor for Britain’s Brexit mayhem or aspects of Donald Trump’s White House. Babylon has stood the test of time precisely because those problems never went away, just changed their clothes and started dancing to a different beat. - LLOYD BRADLEY, Pitchfork
