One half of the film focuses on the Rolling Stones, as they rehearse and ultimately record the song that would become "Sympathy for the Devil." By presenting repeated takes of the entire composition, the film allows the viewer to witness the progressive evolution of the song from its original, slower conception to the more percussive version that became the final recording. The other half of the film - which is occasionally accompanied by the song - presents a series of sequences dealing with issues like black power, pornography, racism, and Marxism, amongst others. These sequences, which often focus on a group of revolutionary youth in Paris, provide a chance for Godard to inject political commentary and meta-fictional musings on the nature of cinema. These more cerebral scenes serve as counterpoint to the direct presentation of the creative process seen in the Stones' studio sessions, and provide oblique commentary on the political meanings of popular music. In the 60's, having as the background the rehearsal and recording of 'Sympathy for the Devil' in the classic album 'Beggar's Banquet' by the revolutionary bad boy Rolling Stones - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Brian Jones - plus Marianne Faithful, Godard discloses other contemporary revolutionary and ideological movements - the Black Power through the Black Panthers, the feminism, the communism, the fascism - entwined with the reading of a cheap pulp political novel divided in the chapters: 'The Stones Rolling; 'Outside Black Novel'; 'Sight and Sound'; 'All About Eve'; 'The Heart of Occident'; 'Inside Black Syntax'; and, 'Under the Stones the Beach'. Sympathy For The Devil was made at a time when The Rolling Stones were at the peak of their creative powers and Jean-Luc Godard, who after making some of the great French New Wave cinema had taken a revolutionary political direction with his filmmaking. Down the years the film has been seen in two versions and has been distributed both as Sympathy For The Devil and One Plus One, this product now presents audiences with the opportunity to experience both versions.
