Additional InformationDirector/Producer Stephen Woolley's STONED is a dramatic attempt--researched for 10 years--to accurately portray the controversial events surrounding the death on July 2nd, 1969 of Rolling Stones founding member and guitarist Brian Jones at age 27. To create his work, Woolley synthesized the written memoirs and testimonials of the witnesses who were there. Beginning a few months before his death, the film focuses on a relationship Brian Jones (Leo Gregory) forged with Frank Thorogood (Paddy Constantine), a builder hired to fix up the rock star's home. Alone--save for his girlfriend Anna--and ostracized from his band-mates due to drug problems and legal tangles, Jones draws Thorogood in as a part-time friend and part-time assistant. When Jones is summarily fired from the band--only weeks before his demise--Thorogood is also let go, and becomes jealous and enraged. Deftly placed flashbacks throughout the film catalogue Jones's ascent and--more gratuitously--his drug-filled self-destructive descent. Coupling these with the volatile relationship with Thorogood, the film discreetly shows the complex causes of JonesÆ untimely death. To capture the spirit of the times, Woolley fills his soundtrack with 1960s nuggets, including excellent covers of Stones material by modern British acts like A Band of Bees and Little Barrie. He also shoots the flashbacks and recreated concert footage with a hand-held 16mm camera, achieving a real-life documentary feel.

  • Boring film about an interesting subject

    Not what I was expecting at all. I knew the story of Brian Jones and can't understand why this film is so boring. The opening credit shows the Stones playing little red rooster in a club in black and white which is rather good but then that is it. Even the sparse soundtrack does not have Stones tracks but features the small faces and traffic. If they had had shown more live club footage instead of the boring bits it would have been some improvement. It's for Stones fans only and rather disappointing to say the least!

  • Awesome

    I thoroughly enjoyed the film. It was up to expectation. Character was well portrayed. Only disappointing thing about this film is that they aren't any rolling stone songs in it. Recommended for stone fans and people who are interested in swinging 60s.

  • Ah Yes, I remember it well.

    What an era, What some memories. I was madly in love with Brian Jones and then he went and topped mimself. I cried like a baby. Not bad for another bloke is it. Buy the DVD. You won't regret it.
