Ronnie Wood: Somebody Up There Likes Me
Although "Somebody Up There Likes Me" is a David Bowie song, this movie does not talk about the British singer. In fact, director Mike Figgis (of "Leaving Las Vegas") uses this title to tell the story of Ronnie Wood, one of the most iconic guitarists in history and a longtime member of the Rolling Stones. Thus, in this way, the filmmaker builds a somewhat banal biographical documentary in its form and style, but with enough content to please long-time fans of the musician. Special mention to the good interviewees, such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Rod Stewart and various other names from British and American rock.
