    The Rolling Stones: CS Blues

    Info

    1972     Documentary    
    USA
    1h 33min

    Made after the release of the Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street, whose cover Frank helped design. The band kept Cocksucker Blues out of circulation for decades: until recently, it could only be shown with the director present, a few times a year. The ostensible reason for the near-ban was the film's orgy scenes (including one on a plane) and depiction of backstage drug use. But maybe the real problem was that the film shone a bright, unsentimental light on an ultra-popular band at the peak of its success, hanging around hotels and airports between concerts.
