Negative Positive
Title: I WAS THEN, BUT I WISH I WAS THERE TOO . . .
Review: This movie brings together very unlike lifestyles, concepts, graphic styles and - well, everything to one degree or another. Don Cammel was a brilliant, bizarre genius who burned out early, probably because his lifestyle was as jolting as PERFORMANCE.(Look for his bio/documentary and be amazed that his life hasn't been made into a movie.)I've seen it so many times in so many states; it stays remarkable and provoking and superb every time. Actually, in some ways it gets better with multiple viewings.And then there's Jagger. For me, this movie matches his incredible stage presence. I've seen him perform live and listened to his music often, andseen his other movies. Always edgy, always intellectual as well as primal, Jagger in this movie does it all in so many dimensions and degrees.Way ahead of its time, and in some ways ahead of ours, it's a movie that will make you yearn to have been there. In that mansion and in the 60's.
