The Rolling Stones on Film

From the beginning of their ’60s heyday, the Rolling Stones oozed rebel cool and a sense of danger that made them irresistible cinematic subjects. While their first foray into film, the tour documentary CHARLIE IS MY DARLING, presents the band as young up-and-comers in the process of finding their voice, Jean-Luc Godard’s radically experimental SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, which documents the recording of the iconic title song, and the infamous concert-film landmark GIMME SHELTER—the dark flip side to the peace-and-love era—capture the Stones at their electrifying, counterculture-defining peak.
