Review of Shine a Light (2008) by Grant S — 31 Jul 2009
Great concert movie. It is amazing to see the Stones have such energy in their performances at their age, and they certainly don't disappoint here. The special guests were great - Jack White, Buddy Guy, even Christina Aguilera, whose music I hate, was excellent. Sorcese's camera angles work perfectly, giving a great vibe to the footage.
Would have been good to get some the behind-the-scenes stuff though, like how the band interact when they're not performing.
Not as good as The Band's "The Last Waltz", the ultimate concert film (and another Scorsese movie), or Talking Heads' "Stop Making Sense", but an excellent movie nonetheless.
