In 1968,
Jean Luc Godard (aka the best director ever) spent some time with the
Rolling Stones while they were recording the song
Sympathy For the Devil (aka, the best song ever).
at the same time, french student were on fire in the streets. The Beach under the pavement.
And that made a BEAUTIFUL documentary, that was released then, and is re-released in 2 theaters in paris, because they are editing the DVD again.
It is called Sympathy for the Devil ONE+ONE
So you see
the Stones recording the song. so real. godard is just walking around with the camera. you feel you're there. it is the opposite of what MTV would do for a "behind the music" or "backstage" stuff.
black people ranting about Black Power and supremacy, about how they love white girls, and they wanna lick their skin, about how the revolution has begun.
black people in a car cemetary (?) throwing AK47 at each other
Black people reading black power books ( for 7 minutes ...)
wierd comic book store where kids get porn books for free, in exchange, they have to get a revolutionary communist pamphlet, slap some Jesus christ impersonators, and do the nazi "heil".
the rolling stones, again and again.
you dont hear the final version of the song, but so many different ones, how it evolved. brillant.
and OFTEN, you hear someone speakin some wierd dialogs, non sense, stories involving famous political characters having intercourse or being superheroes ....
the movie is just amazing.it IS wierd, so dont get all crazy and disapointed, it's still godard, it's not cool. it's good.
