Stoned

“Woolley magically recreates the London scene of the sixties”
-The international Toronto Film Festival

Artist, pop star, fashion icon, womanizer and counter culture groundbreaker- Brian Jones was all these things and more. During the seven short years of his glittering rise to stardom and fateful plummet between 1962-1969 he became a music legend - creating the greatest rock´n roll band ever. Living a classic life of the swinging sixties- the world was at his feet but he became, like his good friends Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, lost in his own mesmeric stupor. In 1969, only a few weeks after he was fired from his own band, he was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool.
This is a murder mystery about the death of one of the most talented musicians of the ‘60s.

Directorial debut from Stephen Woolley (producer behind “The Crying Game” and “Interview with a Vampire”), “Stoned” premiered at the Toronto film festival 2005 and is a fascinating portrait of the sixties and one of it’s greatest icons. Starring Tuva Novotny! UK premiere in November 2005!
