Popcorn (1969)


Directed by Peter Clifton
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Meda Home Entertainment)

This late 60's curio is a collection of clips of popular music groups, culture and icons of the time. The Rolling Stones are featured exclusively for the first 15 minutes or so, with Mick Jagger rambling on incoherently in an interview. The Stones are in their brief psychedelic phase, complete with embarrassing make-up and costumes. After that, the film becomes kind of dull, with a series of musical clips and no interviews. When surfing videos crop up set to Beach Boys music it's really in trouble. However, Traffic appears towards the end with a very psychedelic montage and Twiggy models the latest London fashions.
