STONES IN EXILE

"In 1971, we were young, good-looking and stupid. Now we're just stupid. Nixon was in the White House, the Vietnam War was going on and the world was at a turning point. But none of that is in the film. We didn't know anything about it, because we were stuck in a villa... making a record." Thus spoke Mick Jagger in his press conference about Steven Kijak's documentary "Stones in Exile". Pieced together through the scattered ashes of the past, this rare memento records the making of "Exile on Main St." which would go on to become one of the most influential rock albums in history. The rich archive material, that includes photographs, super 8s and unpublished recordings, brings back to life the mad and inspired days the Stones spent at the Villa Nellcôte in the South of France.
