Review of Gimme Shelter (2013) by Taylor B — 24 Apr 2008
What happens when a bunch of effete art-school grads from Jolly Old meet some REALLY BAD PEOPLE...Mick prances around with his "Their Satanic Majesties" schtick, while in real life stoned hippies are getting stomped and worse by Hell's Angels.
Amazingly well photographed and edited -- the Maysles's and editor Charlotte Zwerin are the ultimate documentary team.
The Criterion Collection DVD is awesome, too -- outstanding restoration job of the film and soundtrack, and great extra features.
