Review
This is a documentary based on an unpublished autobiography of Anita Pallenberg, the muse of the Rolling Stones. After being born in Italy and spending her childhood during World War II, Anita left home for New York where she started to show her true colors. She often hung out with artist groups like Andy Warhol and drew attention, which led to her modelling career. She also made a name for herself as an actress after appearing in the films of Roger Vadim and Volker Schlöndorff. Then she fatefully meets the Rolling Stones. She fell in love with Brian Jones, Keith Richards, and even Mick Jagger. She got married to Keith Richards and had children together, but they ended up parting ways. As a trendsetter from the chaotic and rebellious days of the 1960s and the 70s, she remained an icon and continued to create a lot of buzz as a model and an actress until her passing in 2017. Scarlett Johansson was cast to perform Anita’s voice. (CHUN Jinsu)
