This 1970 cult film has as one of its co-directors Nicolas Roeg, which explains its visual exuberance and inventiveness. But the real reason to watch it is that it was an early, largely unsuccessful foray by Mick Jagger to become a movie star. He plays a former rock star, so it isn’t much of a stretch, but there also is a mob story, and a lot of fantasy – and, it should be mentioned, Anita Pallenberg as Jagger’s female co-star. She’s the actress and former model who was romantically involved, at some point, with three of the Rolling Stones – not only Jagger, but also Brian Jones and Keith Richards. But she also co-starred in Barbarella, playing the Great Tyrant, a role that shouldn’t be forgotten. And, by me, can’t.
