Met to Screen Unreleased Robert Frank Film on Rolling Stones

Published: February 11, 2010

Robert Franks notorious documentary film about the Rolling Stoness 1972 American tour, which has never been released, will be screened next month at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its current exhibition of Frank’s photography, "Looking In: Robert Frank’s The Americans." And for legal reasons, Frank himself has to be there.

Rarely seen because of a lawsuit brought by the Stones themselves, Cocksucker Blues focuses on backstage and offstage behavior by the band and its crew and is known for its explicit scenes of drug use and general debauchery. Under a court order, the film can be shown only if Frank, who will be 85 in November, is present. The film will be screened Oct. 24 at 2:30 p.m. in the museum’s Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium as part of a series of four Frank films, including Pull My Daisy from 1959, Me and My Brother from 1965-68, and Candy Mountain from 1987.
