The most comprehensive and revealing documentary about Brian Jones, founder of the Rolling Stones and one of the tragic figures of 1960s rock as a member of the “27 Club.” Featuring abundant interviews with those from his inner circle since childhood, personal correspondence, and a wealth of unseen footage, the director of documentaries like “Kurt & Courtney” and “Marianne & Leonard” unravels the complex personality of Jones—a brilliant, charismatic, rebellious, and talented individual, but also insecure and cynical. The film delves into the triggers of the self-destructive spiral that ultimately relegated him to the shadows of history.
Cast: Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Keith Richards, Marianne Faithfull, Charlie Watts, Zouzou, Paul Trynka, Michael Lindsay Hogg, Linda Lawrence, Pat Andrews, Melissa North, Dawn Molloy.
