‘She enjoyed her power over men’: memoir reveals anarchic life of Rolling Stones’ muse Anita Pallenberg

As a film drawing on Pallenberg’s autobiography opens, her son Marlon Richards talks about life with her and Keith

Thanks for posting, Cristiano! I have missed the boat at the London Film Festival but hope that the film will become available soon enough via whatever medium for all of us who want see it.

Quote

The four set off on a freighter for South America. In Peru, now without Faithfull but with Pallenberg pregnant with Marlon, Jagger wrote You Can’t Always Get What You Want.

I wish people who write in newspapers did their homework better.

Someone mentioned June Shelley’s book Even When it Was Bad It Was Good earlier in this thread. Is it worth reading?

I mentioned Shelley's book. It is worthwhile as a first hand account of Keith's life with Anita, as are Spanish Tony's and Barbara Charone's.

Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg - Official Trailer | Scarlett Johansson, Rolling Stones




[www.magpictures.com]

Available on Prime, Apple and many other apps/channels on May 3rd.

My take is the creators aim appears to share the story for its historical significance, not just profit, using authentic voices and footage. Celebrating unique individuals and understanding their experiences, including the impact of drugs, is crucial. Studying those affected helps us support others facing similar challenges. Well done Marlon and all of her family and loved ones!

DIRECTOR NOTES:

CATCHING FIRE is a truly hand-made film by two directors motivated by the desire to create something lasting, and personal.

It’s a film about family, made by family: Alexis and Svetlana were brought the idea in 2020 by Marlon Richards, the son of Anita Pallenberg and Keith Richards, who wanted his mother’s story to be told in all its complexity. The directors have worked closely with Anita’s inner circle over the course of three years, and the result is a private view of a life that was often lived in public.

The Super 8mm home movies woven throughout the documentary are the purest
expression of this intimacy.

CATCHING FIRE is very much an expression of the honesty and love in Anita’s family, but it’s no hagiography. Anita was famous for her biting sense of humor and her contempt of false praise.
This film bucks the trend of “branded content” and “celebrity bios” by embracing both the bitter and the sweet, the heartbreak as well as the triumph. Anita Pallenberg is a true anti-hero, an antidote to corporate messaging.
The directors approached the film as an act of historical reclamation: putting the female perspective back in the official narrative of rock ‘n’ roll, making Anita visible again.

For Alexis and Svetlana, CATCHING FIRE was a deliberate recalibrating of history, and a celebration of an unapologetic leader.
Anita was doubtless a muse to many, and she continues to be an inspiration to the
directors. In the words of one of Anita’s grandchildren: “Anita was the original gangster; she was ‘girl power’ to the end.”
Alexis and Svetlana developed the film with the conviction that something this personal can become universal. Anita struggled to balance her own professional life with the needs of her partner, motherhood with a desire for freedom – her themes are absolutely contemporary.

The directors hope that Anita’s humor – and theirs - shine through a story that’s
unsparing at times. Anita took risks, and so did e directors: this is an immersive
documentary with a style and rhythm all of its own

The footage looks amazing, but I think they should have gotten a narrator whose accent in English was more similar to Anita's. Scarlett Johanssen sounds so American.

here is another clip from this film...

Agreed. That had to be one of the most brutally honest and candid documentaries I've ever seen. Very well done.
Nothing really hidden or downplayed.
All of the successes and tragedies laid bare.
Rare home movies throughout. Insightful interviews with Marlon and Angela.
