The film itself is pretentious, but it was the late 60s...
but Jagger is at his preening, androgynous peak with those tights, black hair and eye makeup...
and just Stonesyness, its the coolest thing to see for the first time because you're thinking about Mick and Anita getting it on, according to Mr. Sanchez, during 10-minute breaks in the dressing room, so the voyeur in every Stones fan is in wonder.
Still the only Jagger performance that was worth anything.

It is way too violent! The ending is confusing and difficult to understand. But, there are some beautiful scenes with Mick and Anita. Mick is drop dead gorgeous! And, his British accent is so cute! I love this movie! If only just to watch my Micky!

Fight scene? What are you talking about? I don't remember Mick in any fight scene?

That's probably at the beginning of the movie, and I always skip that part. I always start the movie when Chaz is at the train station and overhears about the "available" room for rent.

No argument here,
I loved it because of the crazy plot, but I just meant that it is definately of its time. Not a bad thing.

Watching Mick and Anita interact was mind-blowing to me the first time i saw it.....
I always suspected Anita had a thing for Mick, despite her protestations to the contrary.
It's a wild movie and definately iconic.

He didnt say it involved Mick - it doesnt. And yes, its early in the film. After the 'bare arsed boxing' scene which starts it.

Terrific film, and Mick is very good - although James Fox 'owns' it.

I remember seeing this when it was finally released, it was held up for a few years over something or another, it was a strange film, one scene briefly looked like Mick in bed with a guy & it turns out to be that other girl who at first looks like a boy, there's a scene where a fly is hit & then there's a close up of the fly, I think this film was made for people on acid, & Mick with all this eye make up on & lipstick, this was before glam rock, so this was ahead of it's time, I'm sure Alice Cooper (when he was into that in the early days) & David Bowie took pointers from this movie, very androgynous.

It's available on Netflix...but only on hard disc, no streaming...I never got a chance to watch it...got home way too late...
my wife mailed it back the next morning thinking I had seen it since it was still in my hard drive

I put it back on queue though...
