Shine a Light

by DeAnn Welker March 31, 2008 2:30 PM
When Martin Scorsese films the Rolling Stones in concert, you don't get just another concert film. You get a behind-the-scenes look at not just the concert, but also at the film about the concert. And it's not your typical concert, by any stretch. It's the Stones' stint at the Beacon Theater in New York in 2006, on a break from their road tour. Mick Jagger isn't sure about Marty's filming techniques. He doesn't want a big, swooping camera getting in the way of the show, but Marty insists it's necessary. Jack White shows up. So does Christina Aguilera. And Buddy Guy. Probably several other famous folks do, too. But the moral of the story will always be that these guys rock, even in their 60s. And Marty's smart enough to throw in some clips of young Mick saying he never thought they'd do this together for more than two years, making a concert--and a movie--like this one all the more poignant. When you put a legend like Scorsese with legends like the Stones, you're bound to wind up with something a little bit legendary, and this documentary is no exception.
