Review of Gimme Shelter (2013) by Sylvain F — 01 Feb 2009

One crazy ride with the Rolling Stones... You get to see some amazing performances by the band and the organization of the concert that would end the whole flower power movement. The latter is really frightening and that's an understatement.

The level of uneasiness and dread throughout the last half of the film is quite disturbing. It's all about these little, unexplained moments (Jagger's facial expression at the end, the concert goer looking at him and asking why, the guy onstage who looks like he's having an anger-filled, mental breakdown).

The concert movie that's better to own dvd than to attend...
