When I eventually saw "Rock and roll circus" I was surprised by Brian Jones! Umm, a bit podgy but basically looked OK/functioning.

is there a robert frank thread? a few of his films have just been released, and this calls for some frank discussion.
cocksucker blues is a little masterpiece, i think; like a tapestry of really beautiful shots and cuts (the footage he chooses to depict people kills me - like warhol blinking, the plane pilot stumbling, etc).

I love cocksucker blues, it's my favorite rock documentary cuz it trains such an unblinking eye on the music world - captures the decadence *and* the banality, examines how they feed each other, creating a narcissistic emptiness out of which these huge performances spill.
when I see people complaining about how boring it is I suspect they want the movie to sell them some exciting rock image in a sleazy new package, but it's strength is in that it lays the whole enterprise bare for all to see, warts n all. it really is a documentary.

I was expecting awesome mixed with tedious and was surprised it was almost all awesome .... the performances and the in-between parts
― dmr, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 16:44 (fifteen years ago) link
is this from cocksucker blues?

Just found out from a friend there's a free screening of this tonight at TIFF. Expect I'll be lining up for two hours minimum.

Not just decadence in addition to banality, but decadence AS banality.

Hannah Arendt...Maybe I won't be seeing it after all; e-mailed my friend about how soon I should be downtown, reply was "now" (the screening's at 6:30).
― clemenza, Friday, 17 January 2014 16:19 (ten years ago) link
Sorry. Worth seeing even if it doesn't quite live up to the hype

Does this mean that Robert Frank will be there? iirc, the stipulation for a screening is that he's present.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 17 January 2014 16:23 (ten years ago) link
yikes!
Other Robert Frank films will also be showing over the weekend, also free! Again, at TIFF (in Toronto). Maybe lesser lineups for the less infamous stuff? http://tiff.net/filmsandschedules/tiffbelllightbox/2014/2440005773
― pauls00, Friday, 17 January 2014 16:23 (ten years ago) link
naw that ~stipulation~ is kinda outdated/unenforced, i've seen this screened w/o him. it is a cool fact tho. i love this movie.

Very glad I got to see this (friend ducked out of work to get tickets). I wasn’t surprised or disappointed that it has some dead patches--I fully expected that it would. I was a little surprised that everything was clean and visible--maybe I was thinking of Eat the Document, but I was ready for a lot of really murky footage, and there wasn’t. Jagger and Stevie Wonder sharing a stage in 1972, especially on “Uptight,” is monumental. The backstage celebrity lurkers are hilarious. (This is something that has really interested me the past few years--when exactly did this moment arrive?) The decadence is...very matter-of-fact, maybe less than I expected (less of it, I mean), and appropriately unpleasant. The guy who walked out behind us was laughing about how terrible it was. I’m not sure what he went there to see. Looking forward to Frank’s Peter Orlovsky film on Monday.

To answer velko's question from five years ago, yes--but it's just a jumble of stuff, and "Tumbling Dice" itself isn't in the film.

Re: Screening Rules--The Stones & Frank reached an new agreement a few years ago that he could distribute a digital copy of his personal print for a certain limited number of screenings each year. I saw it last year (sold-out screening, $20 ticket) at the MFAH, which happens to be where Frank's archive--iirc both photography & film (sans CS Blues, which the Stones own)--resides. Some of the less-salacious footage, such as Kieth and Bobby Keys throwing the tv out the hotel window, reappears in Stones In Exile.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for clearing that up. When I first read about the initial agreement I was shocked -- I only knew of it as a more-rumored-than-seen bootleg, an the idea that it would be officially screened anywhere struck me as odd.
Clemenza otm re: "Uptight." There were rumors of a live (and studio?) Stones/Stevie record from '72, but obviously it never happened.

I just watched this…does anyone ever remember coming across an annotations as such and have any tips where it might be? I can't find any… It would very cool to find out who everybody was …like the Mickey Hart looking dude who's shooting up allatime…isn't that Mike Blomfield talking jive a mile a minute towards the end… of course, many YT comments mention the abundant pubic hair…

There's some stuff about it (Keef talking about various scenes etc) in this
