Product Description

With the five films that make up his Small Axe anthology (Mangrove; Lovers Rock; Red, White and Blue; Alex Wheatle; and Education), director Steve McQueen offers a richly evocative panorama of West Indian life in London from the 1960s through the ’80s—a time defined for the community by the terror of police violence, the empowering awakening of political consciousness, and the ecstatic escape of a vibrant reggae scene. Ranging in tone from the tenderly impressionistic to the devastatingly clear-eyed, these powerfully performed portraits of Black resistance, joy, creativity, and collective action—all sumptuously shot by Shabier Kirchner—form a revolutionary counterhistory of mid-twentieth-century Britain at a transformational moment.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED THREE-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

  • New 2K masters of all five films, approved by director Steve McQueen, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks
  • New conversation between McQueen and writer and professor Paul Gilroy
  • Behind-the-scenes featurettes including interviews with McQueen, executive producer Tracey Scoffield, writing consultant Alex Wheatle, and members of the Small Axe cast
  • Uprising (2021), a three-part documentary codirected by McQueen and James Rogan about the tragic 1981 New Cross house fire
  • Audio conversation among McQueen, music producer Dennis Bovell, and Beastie Boys member Mike D
  • Trailers
  • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
  • PLUS: An essay by film programmer and critic Ashley Clark

    These are great little stories about the Caribbean experience in the U.K. Got this as a gift for my father. A lot of his siblings went to England after the 2nd World War to help rebuild and stayed there and built a life for themselves. Highly recommended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars five great movies and one great documentary
    Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Look, every one of these movies is better than 95% of the "based on a true story" dramas out here. The actors all give great performances, but Shaun Parkes and John Boyega especially are stellar, and "Mangrove" and "Red, White and Blue" are the best episodes IMO. The ending of "Red, White and Blue", these last lines, wrecked me like few movies ever did.
    The cinematography and the photography are perfect, the production is luscious but also not polished to the point of feeling artificial (like "Judas and the black Messiah" was). The stories have masterful emotional buildups, and great rhythm. And Steve McQueen trusts you, the spectator, to fill the empty spaces, the pauses, the silent shots. These movies don't feel the need to explain or show everything, to highlight the "message".

    And the soundtrack! The soundtrack! It is so good!

    The "Uprising" documentary also does everything a good documentary should do: no commentary, no voice over, no invasive text. Just let the people talk, tell their story. It also made me look back on the "Lover's Rock" episode with a very different perspective.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant collection of five films!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2021

    I really wanted to see Small Axe, but since I don't have the equipment in my home to do live streams via a tv, I bought the DVD instead. The 5 films are outstanding: the acting is great, and the content really draws you in and makes you think. The morals/messages are powerful and profound, transmitted through the actors and the circumstances they find themselves in. As you watch each film, you learn about a different aspect of the Caribbean experience in England (the so-called Windrush generation). As a fourth-generation descendent of Europeans immigrants residing in the US, I found it enlightening and educational. Small axe fall big tree! Highly recommended, and the seller is also great (Rarewaves in the UK).

    3.0 out of 5 stars (très) inabouti.
    Reviewed in France on December 12, 2024

    Cinq films, courts ou longs métrages, qui m'ont globalement laissé insatisfait, ou perplexe. Sans doute Steve McQueen aurait-il dû se focaliser sur trois des cinq et en faire de longs métrages. Certains films m'ont donné l'impression d'être très inachevés : leur scénario même, confus voire inutile. Bref, je garde les deux plutôt réussis, mais n'oublie pas les autres, pas loin d'être loupés. À mes yeux, bien entendu...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Steve McQueen works towards enlightenment.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Steve McQueen is one of the most visible contemporary artists working on questions of colonisation/decolonisation, power struggles, domination, racism and alterity. Small Axe concentrates on the Jamaican community in Britain during the 70s onwards. His highlighting of the injustices entailed by the community are necessary for the understanding of British culture. Asking the question « What is British ? ». « « « Mangrove 9 » is similar to « Twelve Angry Men » by the great film director Sidney Lumet or the more recent  « The Trial of the Chicago Seven » by Aaron Sorkin in which the cards of prejudice, racism and the colonial dominating mindset are laid on the table. « Mangrove 9 » is a game-changer employing humour and facts to bring about an understanding on a level of profundity. Steve McQueen uses real time filming as a way to access deep emotions, slowing down and laying bare what is it means to be a minority, dominated by the ignorant and the powerful. Dialogue and communication reveal sensitive issues to enable a point of view to open up with an idea of spreading light on what up till now has been obscured.

    Wer sich für Reggae und jamaikanische Soundsystem Kultur interessiert, unbedingt angucken. Die Zeit (1970s) wird originalgetreu eingefangen und vermittelt ein nicht nur positives Lebensgefühl der karibischen Migranten im UK (Rassismus). Bitte im Original anschauen, auf Deutsch geht das Patois verloren.
