...filmmakers are producing a documentary investigating the ghost stories of a small town. The movie begins by explaining that their footage has been recovered since their disappearance a year ago. The rest of the movie shows the filmmakers at work. The movie is entirely shot in grainy video and 16mm film, often in bad light or with bad sound, through jerky, rushed shots. There's no score and no opening credits. On the one hand, this makes it plausible that the movie is no illusion. It seems to be a student documentary made on the cheap. But because the movie...

Unfortunately, what took place turned out to be some pretty rough stuff, including the band's drug use, and later, when Keith Richards got busted for heroin in Toronto, the Stones were afraid that the film might be used as evidence against him and threatened a court order against its release...
...clearly, however, made use of a great many montage techniques in piecing together the various parts of the footage: part in color, part in black and white, part in Super 8 and part in 16mm. There is plenty of quick, handheld camera work, following the Stones through corridors and dressing rooms and fending its way through crowds...
