bodies that still look and move like teenagers'. Drummer Charlie Watts is the only member who actually has white hair. (Or rather, the only member who doesn't dye, but hey.) The film periodically interrupts the concert with some priceless archival footage of old interviews, which only enhance your suspicions that (A) the Rolling Stones are timeless, and (B) they're all having a great time.
Of course, if you don't know the Rolling Stones well, chances are your enjoyment of the film will be severely limited. This may sound strange to some, but I personally don't even like concerts that much – give me a story to invest in any day – which is why I've been ambivalent about concert films like U2 3D before. But as a huge fan of the Rolling Stones (and Scorsese for that matter), Shine a Light is one big happy exception.
Movie Grade: B+
Synopsis:
A Rolling Stones documentary that focuses on the two concerts from the group's current "A Bigger Bang" tour as well as historical and contemporary behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. A recent concert in Austin, Texas, was also filmed.
