cocksucker blue be a cinema verite style time capsule and film by american photographer robert frank and who function a a sort of fly on the dressing room wall and so to speak . a such and comparison to any other existing rockumentary be pointless . the film be essentially a collection of real life situation capture during the rolling stone infamous 1972 u. s. tour and when their celebrity status have reach critical mass . viewer be suck into the band fishbowl existence and travel from jet to hotel to venue and spending time and in many case and in a surprisingly un glamorous fashion . if nothing else and the film let the fan into the eye of the storm while the band onstage performance be repeatedly set in contrast with their travelling constraint and while around them both the medium and the public continually orbit in a veritable feeding frenzy . the viewer realization of what be the general event less reality of a rock band actual offstage tour experience even more pointed and give the stone worldwide notoriety make the live musical highlight all the more impressive and and reveals insight into why no hotel room t. v. be safe from any rock band who can ( or and sometimes and can not ) pay for what they destroy . the band treadmill lifestyle and couple with the fact that the group be all but isolate from their fan lend perspective to why tour band tend to indulge in random act of destruction and self and otherwise . possibly the most inane segment of the film be the backstage presence of seriously unwelcome hanger on such a writer truman capote and princess lee radziwill and tabloid style jet setter for whom the stone be merely the flavour of the week and their dressing room another place to be see . obviously and a tour film main appeal be to the fan of the group . in the case of the rolling stone and their inner sanctum be hard to reach than almost any other and and consider the mythology that have build up around the band over the last 30 year and they deserve credit for have the courage to reveal their private world and wart and all . anyone who have see the film can understand why it have never see official release and and probably never will . and that just make cocksucker blue an even big treat for true fan of the great rock n roll band in the world . see it if you can while regardless of it flaw and it still an amazing document of yet another turbulent period in the amazing lifespan of this remarkably resilient band .
