Plot
The Rhythm Nation Compilation gathers all seven, wildly popular and somewhat influential music videos based on songs from Janet Jackson's hit 1989 album, Rhythm Nation 1814. With a minimum of self-congratulatory distractions, the anthology gets down to business, rolling out such memorable productions as Swordfish director Dominic Sena's "Miss You Much," shot in black and white and underscoring Jackson's image as an accessible, normal young woman with a lot of playful friends. "Rhythm Nation," also helmed by Sena, is still disarming with its vaguely martial look and feel, as well as Jackson's then-trademark, staccato-choppy choreography. Other highlights include the south-of-the-border exotica of "Escapade," the long version of director Julien Temple's glossy "Alright" (featuring Cab Calloway, Cyd Charisse, and the Nicholas Brothers), and the dreamy "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," shot by famed photographer Herb Ritts and introducing the more womanly, sexier Jackson we know today. --Tom Keogh
