The Altamont movie, and unless you get off on violence accompanied by music played loud and raw, something of a bummer. If you love the Stones, you’re likely to be irritated by the fact that the camera stays on Mick Jagger for virtually every frame; if you’re keen to understand why the notorious murder took place and what responsibility the musicians should admit to, you’re left with a vacuous look of shock and confusion on the singer’s face. Still, it is a reminder that the ’60s were not entirely about love, peace and limp liberalism.
