Not really IMO.
I'd be fascinated to see a film about the Stones making an album,
especially back then, but they are only making one track, and as
interesting as it is...... and maybe in the sixties all the weird arse
footage of black guys dishing out M16s to each other and doing violence to
white girls was radical and daring, but I think it was pretentious rubbish
then and now.
The Stones stuff (with the above reservation) is very interesting though
if you like the song. Brian Jones while he still had sufficient
coordination to catch a packet of matches, and Keith Richard showing what
an effortlessly brilliant guitar player he is, as well as actually looking
in good (even graceful!) shape.
This would have been great if it had been a documentary about the Stones
and the album. I think the Beatles were very wise to turn the guy down.
All the best,
Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
