Lambert snd Stamp (2014)

This is a non-linear movie that essentially goes nowhere, and even then, it is hard to follow.  It meanders so far as to be off course often, but part of that it the subject matter.  It is a portrait of Kitt Lambert and Chris Stamp, two young Londoners who made their names and fortunes by managing a fledgling band called the High Numbers, who eventually became the band The Who.
It is an improbable tale.  It is not only an involving account of that group’s rise from obscurity to superstardom, the film is also an exceptionally vivid and evocative depiction of the cultural flux of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.  Lambert and Stamp were want to be filmmakers, art school at the same time as Pete Townsend. Their plan was to volunteer to manage his band and make a movie of the experience.  Ironically, they thought the band did not stand a chance, but that their movie would make them famous.  Seeing some of the footage of the film reinforces the adage that it is better to be lucky than to be good.  They were successful managers, flaming out some by the end, but this is a real deep dive into the time where two guys could actually know nothing and manage a rock band.
Kind of wild.
