Crossfire Hurricane


Crossfire Hurricane is a 2012 documentary film about The Rolling Stones written and directed by Brett Morgen. The film chronicles the early years of the band through 1981. The film is a series of interviews conducted without cameras, while showing various points of interest that the band is discussing as archival footage. The title of the film comes from the first line of the bands 1968 hit Jumpin Jack Flash.

The film received mostly positive reviews. Review aggregator website Metacritic, which assigns normalized scores, gave the film a 77 out of 100, based oncritics.This kind of thing elevates Mr. Morgens artfully crafted collage, which has a freeassociative attitude but a very precise tone of voice. Constructed out of archival materials that include newsreel footage and some neverbeforeseen outtakes from the better films on this muchdocumented band including the Maysles brothers 1970 Gimme Shelter and Robert Franks 1972 documentary with the unmentionable title, the movie is full of ripe moments, as well as a sense of being under someones thumb. ........
