Stoned is a sex, drugs and rock n roll biopic that focuses on the short life and sudden death of Brian Jones (Leo Gregory), guitarist, dandy and founding member of the Rolling Stones. He was found dead in 1969 in his country estate swimming pool, his relationship with the band had been made increasingly difficult by his erratic behavior, drug use, so they finally kicked him out.
The film portrays Brians life with the Stones, but essentially focuses on a theory about his death. Frank Thorogood (Paddy Considine) is a builder who becomes Brians minder and whipping boy, and is portrayed as his murderer, after a deathbed confession - but is this true?
Stoned was a really enjoyable movie, although I always like movies about 1960s rock stars, and they all seem to be full of chaos, and end in death! Great movie!
David Morrissey is in it too, so a Doctor Who link also :)
Here is the trailer...
