Well we all know that Mick likes to perform, I mean not only perform onstage, he also likes to star in movies... and he's appeared in several movies...as main character just a few films but all are great


PERFORMANCE
(1970)

Turner (Mick Jagger) is a rock star in the fall of his life. He's living with Pheber (Anita Pallenberg) and Lucy (Michelle Breton), who is a french girl. They are very glad to share their loneliness. Turner rent a room to Chas (James Fox), a gangster who is trying to hide himself in this dark home. 
They're living a decadent story in the edge of their lives.

Strange film released in those old days when the sixties are ending.
 
 
 
 

 

SONG

Memo from Turner, this is the song Mick sing in the movie. It's a psicodelic song that fits with the context of the movie. Written by Jagger & Richards.


 
NED KELLY
(1970)

Ned Kelly (Jagger) is an irish descending. He trys to liberate Australia, which is a british colony in those days. This is the story about the real Ned Kelly. He's an outlaw, who robs and then shares out the money between the poors and his own family.
He makes a metalic armor to protect himself from aggressions but the only part of this body that is without armor are his feet, and this is used by Police to catch him.

SONG

In this movie Mick sang only one song, Wild Colonian Boy, an irish folk song.

In the OST you can find great american country singers like Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings,...


 
FREEJACK
(1992)

This is Mick's third movie. A rare science-fiction movie in which Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez) is a race car driver who has an accident and die in the 'present' but a very short time before he die in his car, he is catched and taken to the future by Vacendak (Mick). Vacendak is the main Anthony Hopkins' server and has to capture Alex because Hopkins is dead and he needs a new body to live forever. When Alex know that in the future all is changed and he's alive to be the body of other man (he's a freejack) he trys to scape and Vacendak has to chase him around all the future and dark city. 
With a unexpected and surprising end in which Mick play a decisive role, it's a great movie.

SONG

We're sorry but Mick doesn't sing any song in this film...what a pity!!


 
BENT

The action takes place in the decadent Berlin (Germany) in the begining of the Nazism. Mick star a german citizen, who use to go to a cabaret in the night and there he's Greta and performs on stage. In these times  A Story about homosexuality.

 
 

SONG

Mick as Greta sing "Streets of Berlin", it seems the same kind of song than "Angel of my Heart"(from the Wandering Spirit)
