Review of Shine a Light (2008) by Sapna S — 06 Jun 2008

This is a real music concert with real music. No backup dancers, no crucifix, no nothing else. No oops-I-did-it-again manufactured pop bullshit. These are not ageing divas trying to be young. This is the pure energy and madness that makes The Rolling Stones who they are.

The archival material is superb too. Tracking the journey of the band with pithy bytes. Some journalists do ask stupid questions, some gush in a very sweet way. Loved Keith Richards' nonchalant attitude towards the Clinton clan.

And good to know Martin Scorcese still palpitates before a shoot. Brilliant cinematography, brilliant cutting. Another film I wanted to touch. Absolutely recommended. See it on the big screen with surround sound.
