aka CS Blues. The notorious documentary of the Rolling Stones 1972 Exile on Main St tour. Notorious because of the no holds barred, access all areas film diary that was produced, then denied release by the stones once they got to see it! It's all here, the sex, the drugs, the rock and roll and the mind numbing boredom of a tour. The photographer Robert Frank gave everyone a camera and followed the Stones as they wandered North America. What he caught was a mostly bored band and entourage trying to entertain themselves, with groupies and drugs, and maybe some poker. Essentially we get to see the hollowness of tour life and how the fantasy isn't really all it's cracked up to be, and neither is this film. A rambling and incoherent film that manages to bore more than it entertains, whilst showing some seemingly shocking activity.
