‘Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg’ Filmmakers on Working With Her Son to Capture His Complicated Mother’s Life: ‘Marlon Encouraged Us to Go Deep and to Go Dark’

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor A muse, a mother, a fashionista, an actor, a rock ‘n’ roll icon — it’s hard to describe exactly why Anita Pallenberg remains such a compelling figure more than a half-century after the captivating blonde sang backing vocals on the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” and starred in movies like “Performance” and “Barbarella.” The new documentary “Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg” delves into both the beautiful and tragic moments of her eventful life with the help of a treasure trove of home movies and interviews, as well as an unpublished memoir penned by Pallenberg and narrated by Scarlett Johansson. The footage is coupled with interviews of the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, with whom she had a significant relationship, their children Marlon and Angela Richards, director Volker Schlondorff, who cast her in some of his films, and her former friends and associates.

Rolling Stones’ ‘Hackney Diamonds’ review: A nostalgic, stomping victory lap
The Rolling Stones put out an album of new material — 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” — it was all the way back in the pre-Taylor Swift era.In the interim, the pop superstar has dropped 10 studio LPs — and rocked the music world the way the Stones once did in the 1960s and ’70s — while the legendary British band has released exactly one: 2016’s “Blue & Lonesome,” a collection of blues covers.Although the Stones continued to tour — and play the hits that everybody comes to hear — it certainly seemed as if they had given up on making original music and would ride those classics into the inevitable sunset.But perhaps jolted by the death of founding drummer Charlie Watts in 2021, the Stones are back with — dare I say it — a bang on “Hackney Diamonds,” out on Friday.With the band enlisting Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt — a top studio gun for everyone from Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa to Justin Bieber and Post Malone — you might be worried that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are making one last desperate attempt at the pop charts.Thankfully, that’s not the case. (And to his credit, Watt, 32, has some rock bonafides, too, having also produced Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder.)“Hackney Diamonds” — which takes its title from the Hackney district in East London — feels like classic Stones, even if it’s not up to the gems of yesteryear.

Mick Jagger talks working with “really great singer” Lady Gaga for Rolling Stones’ ‘Sweet Sounds Of Heaven’
Mick Jagger has recalled working with Lady Gaga on The Rolling Stones‘ new single ‘Sweet Sounds Of Heaven’.The collaborative song, which also features Stevie Wonder, was released yesterday (September 28) as the latest preview of the Stones’ 24th studio album ‘Hackney Diamonds’ (out October 20).During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Jagger praised Gaga – who provided backing vocals on the track – and explained how ‘Sweet Sounds Of Heaven’ came together in the studio.“She’s a really great singer and I’d never heard her sing [in] quite that style before. Not exactly,” the frontman said of the pop star’s contribution.“We did it live in the room and that was a great experience, her just coming in the room and her just opening up and seeing her bits and feeling her way and then getting more confident.”He continued: “And then we came back and then did some extra parts that we hadn’t done on the day and then we did some tidying up and we were just in the overdub room, really face-to-face, getting them really tight, the parts really tight, and then being slightly competitive and screaming.”Jagger told Lowe that ‘Sweet Sounds Of Heaven’ is “all played live”, adding: “And of course, we did overdubs, but it’s all played in the room.”While sharing some behind-the-scenes studio footage, Gaga recalled her experience of working with The Rolling Stones, saying that she’d been inspired by their classic hit ‘Gimme Shelter’ as well as “gospel and soul” music.“I thought about my favourite old Stones tunes and all the great vocalists who had sung with Mick, making what we know now as a ‘sound’ unique to a band that defined a huge piece of rock’n’roll,” the star wrote.“Then we cut [the song] live.
