Review of Gimme Shelter (2013) by Steve S — 09 Jul 2012
Possibly the most gripping powerful and amazing concert documentaries ever filmed if certainly not one of the most ambitious. The Rolling Stones concert at the Altamont Speedway,which ended in the tragic death of Meredith Hunter, is perhaps the most notorious in rock history.
The Maysles brothers and Charlotte Zwerin chilling and disturbing record of the drug fueled dystopian nightmare and the spirit of violence and madness which pervaded the atmosphere of that festival is spellbinding.
A riveting document of the end of a turbulent decade and indeed a stunning portrait of an entire generations lost innocence.
