## Synopsis

Sympathy for the Devil is a 1968 avant-garde film shot mostly in color by director Jean-Luc Godard, his first British-made, English-language film. It is a composite film, juxtaposing documentary, fictional scenes and dramatised political readings. It is most notable for its scenes documenting the creative evolution of the song "Sympathy for the Devil" as the Rolling Stones developed it during recording sessions at Olympic Studios in London.
