Product Reviews
The recording sessions that produced The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street have become mythic in rock history. This documentary, made to coincide with the 40th anniversary remaster of that LP, features new interviews with the band members alongside archival footage that attempts to demystify the sordid tales of sex and drugs that have surrounded this beloved album since its initial release. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
Product Notes
In the spring of 1971 the Rolling Stones reluctantly departed the UK to take up residence in France. Keith Richards settled at a villa called Nellcôte in Villefranche-sur-Mer and this became the venue for the recording of much of the band's masterpiece Exile On Main Street. Stones In Exile tells the story in the band's own words and through extensive archive footage of their time away from England and the creation of this extraordinary double album, which many regard as the Rolling Stones' finest achievement. Bonus features include extensive additional footage including interviews with all the band members, footage from Cocksucker Blues and Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts returning to Olympic Studios and Jagger's country house Stargroves where a lot of the early work on the album was done.
