Plot: Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese and the world's greatest rock 'n roll band, The Rolling Stones, unite to bring audiences the musical film event, "Shine A Light," a look at The Rolling ...( read more  )Stones, the band that defined the very idea of what a rock & roll band is, live through the eyes of Scorsese. It's hard to overestimate the importance of The Rolling Stones in rock & roll history. The group, which formed in London in 1962, distilled so much of the music that had come before it and has exerted a decisive influence on so much that has come after. Only a handful of musicians in any genre achieve that stature, and the Stones stand proudly among them. No stranger to rock concert films ("The Last Waltz"), Scorcese filmed the Stones over a two-day period at the intimate Beacon Theater in New York City in fall 2006, He assembled an incredible team of cinematographers to capture the raw energy of the legendary band. The Director of Photography, Oscar winner Robert Richardson ("The Aviator," "JFK"), supervised the camera team comprised of several highly acclaimed cinematographers, including Oscar winner John Toll ("The Last Samurai," "Braveheart"), Oscar winner Andrew Lesnie ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong"), Oscar nominee Stuart Dryburgh ("The Piano," "The Painted Veil"), Oscar nominee Robert Elswit ("Magnolia," "Good Night and Good Luck"), Oscar nominee Emmanuel Lubezki ("Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events," "Sleepy Hollow") and Ellen Kuras ("Summer of Sam," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"). The film was edited by David Tedeschi, who most recently worked with Scorsese on the acclaimed Bob Dylan documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan." The executive producers are Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood.

  Man skal jo nok ha' interesse for gruppen for at faa fornojelse af den. Men flot filmatisering og gode korte klip mellem numrene, der virker relevante og saetter gruppens personligheder i et spaendende perspektiv.
  Hvis nogen har vaeret i tvivl tidligere, saa slaas det i denne filmatisering fast med syvtommersom. Mick Jagger er den styrende og samlende figur. Ingen Mick-ingen stones.
  Og saa er det da iovrigt flot filmet af scorsese, trods de vanskelige forhold.

  Superb concert material. If any movie benefits from being seen in the theatre instead of at home, it's this one. If you like the music of the Stones at all, you'll want to see this.

  Watching this legendary and passionate group on such a large screen is a remarkable experience. In the hands of Scorsese, the film technique is genius. Highlghts include Jack White's joyous guest appearance, Buddy Guy's electrifying stare, Keith sharing secrets with his guitar and Mick's intense and energetic performance. A shame the film wasn't in 3-D. Ultimately, it's a miracle this band remains better than most live acts today.
