Mick Jagger – The Roaring 20s

Using some archival interview and concert footage, as well as an endless series of talking heads to comment on the action, this unauthorized documentary does a good job of exploring the formative years of one of the greatest front-men ever. Watching Mick develop from a guy too shy to do more than stand still and sing to become the strutting sex symbol we all know today is fascinating. The film does a good job, too, of showing us that although he has a reputation for being a shallow social climber (at least at times), Jagger was and is a passionate advocate of the blues music he heard as a young man.
