Perry Henzell's little known follow-up to The Harder They Come is a road movie through ‘70s Jamaica and introduced actress Grace Jones to audiences.
Susan (Susan O’Meara) is the American producer of a shampoo commercial being shot in Jamaica. When the star, PJ (PJ Soles), abandons the shoot, Susan sets out to find her, with charismatic local fixer Carl (Carl Bradshaw). Making their way through the countryside Susan and Carl find themselves attracted to each other, however neither of them has any illusions about the separate and unequal worlds to which they belong.
Shot on Super 16mm, No Place Like Home celebrates Jamaica’s natural beauty and reveals director Perry Henzell’s affinity for the cinema of John Cassavetes, Robert Altman and Dennis Hopper. Naturalistic and improvised, the film is the memorable last testament of an undeniably great filmmaker and features a handpicked soundtrack including Bob Marley, Etta James, Carly Simon, Toots & The Maytals and more.
