“It’s flat-out mesmeric…Not just for Stones fans.”—Empire UK
Two of the greatest creative forces of the 1960s - rock band The Rolling Stones and filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard - meet in this powerful documentary. Godard captures the band, in long unbroken takes, as they slowly create their sensational hit Sympathy for the Devil. But Godard expands the focus of the film to capture the political and cultural chaos sweeping the world at that moment, mixing vignettes of the Black Panthers and Marxist polemics with strident title cards and bizarre moments of political theatre.
