Don't expect too much of the movie itself. It is typical German "Autorenkino". Schlöndorff became "commercial" much later. But He Held Anita Pallenberg in high regards: She was a "Kinotier" (a "movie beast") - that got lost due to Keith's more than to Brian's fault...

I don't think Anita needed any encouragement from anyone when it came to lifestyle choices. If she had gone with someone other than Keith, I suspect her life would have followed the same path.

Wrote it, yes, played it all, no.
The music works great for it's intended use.
It shows that claims, like Stu's that "Brian was incapable of writing music!" is nonsense.
But, it also some what confirms Jagger and Oldhams view that Brian's music was a bit too busy with lots of chord changes for pop music.

BUT...and it's a big but, I've often thought that Brian had the potential to do a zMike Oldfield, he of Tubular Bells fame.
Brian had the instrumental skills surely. Lyrics were not his strength obviously.
Of course he would have needed a lot of things going for him: focus, self discipline, inspiration physical and mental health, financial and emotional support, a record label,
Which wasnt where he was at in 1969, sadly.
Certainly the music industry then was more receptive to less commercial music and as Nonesuch Records showed, World music was becoming of interest to western consumers.
Brian's name alone would have added significant commercial value to any project.
