Monday night at the Ritz join us for this rare opportunity to see one of the touchstone films of the British Invasion. Mick Jagger plays himself, more or less, as a retired rock star who has sequestered himself in a London townhouse with two beautiful women (Anita Pallenberg and Michele Breton) completely immersing himself in a years-long orgy of sex, drugs and mysticism that is interrupted by a gangster (James Fox) whose fists and tough talk are no match for the labyrinth of strangeness he encounters. In the strange house, under the influence of the psychedelic drugs and such oddly seductive company the gangster begins to find his inner rock star and the rock star finds his inner gangster, culminating in the obscene and vicious song, "Memo From Turner" in which Jagger declaims what is basically a proto-gangster rap into the camera. Lush, decadent, brilliant - this is a must see! Thanks to End Of An Ear Records and Dewar's Fine Scotch.
Tickets here. Also plays next Monday night. Don't miss.
