Shine a Light is a 2008 concert film directed by Martin Scorsese about the band The Rolling Stones . It was filmed at the Beacon Theater in New York in the fall of 2006 . Jack White , Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera appear as guest musicians alongside the Rolling Stones . The first of two concert evenings in the theater was part of a benefit event for the American ex-President Bill Clinton , who can be seen in the film with his wife Hillary Clinton .

Shine a Light celebrated its world premiere on February 7, 2008 as the opening film of the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale); in April of that year he came to the cinema. In the same month the soundtrack album of the same name for the film was released.

The film title quotes the Rolling Stones song Shine a Light , which the band released on their 1972 album Exile on Main Street .

content

Scorsese's film documents what happened during and in the run-up to two concerts by the Rolling Stones, which took place on October 29 and November 1, 2006 in New York's Beacon Theater . The music performances are in the foreground and make up the main part of the film with about 90 minutes.

The first concert was part of a charity event organized for the 60th birthday of former US President Bill Clinton for his foundation, the William J. Clinton Foundation . Clinton's opening speech and other pictures from that day of shooting were incorporated into the film. Most of the film material used, including all concert recordings, comes from the second evening. The cut creates the impression of a single event.

The concert recording is supplemented by interspersed historical film and television recordings of interviews and episodes from the band's history. Among other aspects, the band's longevity runs thematically through this archive material. Thus, lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards as long as to make the Rolling Stones still intend music repeatedly by journalists faced with the question. The reviews are limited to the line-up from 2006, former band members are not addressed.

Events in connection with the preparation of the shooting and shortly before the performance introduce the film, whereby the director shows in a humorous way his difficulties in planning the shoot in harmony with Mick Jagger. Among other things, Jagger's concern that the many cameras could prove to be a hindrance for the musicians and disruptive for the audience, as well as Scorsese's unsuccessful attempt to get the setlist from Jagger before the performance for the purpose of conceiving the camera work are discussed . A sequence shows the Rolling Stones greeting the couple Bill and Hillary Clinton and their guests (including Hillary Clinton's mother and Poland's former President Aleksander Kwaśniewski ), followed by an excerpt from Clinton's address.

With the announcement of November 1st, the band is announced, while in front of the theater the camera swoops down from a great height onto the glowing lettering "Beacon Theater - The Rolling Stones" on the canopy of the building. At the last moment, Scorsese receives the setlist and the concert begins.

The Rolling Stones will interpret the following songs in the order given, supported by several accompanying musicians and three prominent guests -  Jack White , Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera . Unless otherwise stated, the compositions and texts are by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards:

  1. Jumpin 'Jack Flash
  2. Shattered
  3. She was hot
  4. All down the line
  5. Loving Cup  - with Jack White
  6. As Tears Go By (Mick Jagger / Keith Richards / Andrew Loog Oldham )
  7. Some girls
  8. Just My Imagination ( Norman Whitfield / Barrett Strong )
  9. Far Away Eyes
  10. Champagne & Reefer ( Muddy Waters ) - with Buddy Guy
  11. Tumbling Dice
  12. Introduction of the band members
  13. You Got the Silver  - sung by Keith Richards
  14. Connection  - sung by Keith Richards, interrupted by archive footage
  15. Sympathy for the Devil
  16. Live with Me  - with Christina Aguilera
  17. Start Me Up
  18. Brown sugar
  19. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

In a long drive, the camera follows the band on their way backstage after the concert, overtakes them and leaves the theater through a door, whereupon, under Scorsese's direction, they “Up, up!” ('Up, up!') in a reversal of the tracking shot that marks the beginning of the performance, rises higher and higher above the heads of cheering fans and journalists, catches the glimpse of the neon sign on the canopy of the Beacon Theater, then flies between the skyscrapers of New York at night and finally in one Supervision of the distant city comes to a standstill. The moon turns into an outstretched tongue, the band's logo. This last scene is musically accompanied by the Rolling Stones song Shine a Light , which starts as the camera moves backwards from the lights of the theater and the city, and then leads to the credits.

The recording, which can only be heard incompletely, is replaced in the credits by the 'Stones' song Wild Horses , which also only sounds excerpts , improvised during rehearsals as a heavily modified acoustic version with harmonica instead of the usual singing. It ends with a piece composed by Keith Richards and played on the acoustic guitar called Only Found Out Yesterday .

Production background

The film was directed by Steve Bing's production company Shangri-La Entertainment and Concert Productions International, the company of tour operator of A Bigger Bang tour of the Rolling Stones, Michael Cohl produced and financed. Producer Victoria Pearman is the managing director of Jagged Films, a production company founded with Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood served as executive producers .

Mick Jagger intended to shoot a free large-scale concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro , which the Rolling Stones gave on February 18, 2006, for a film about the A Bigger Bang tour, which began in 2005 . When looking for a suitable director, the choice fell on Martin Scorsese. He agreed, but thought it would be more like his idea to take up the music group in a more intimate atmosphere. He wanted to focus on the interaction between the individual band members and give the cinema audience the feeling of being on stage with the Rolling Stones. Therefore, he preferred the small theater stage to a large venue. As part of the A-Bigger-Bang tour, the Rolling Stones had only played in front of a large audience until then, and a performance in a small place like the Beacon Theater was not planned. The event was advertised in the film trailers as a break from the stadium tour "to give a concert with some friends at the Beacon Theater, New York".

The first concert was part of a three-day charity event organized by Bill Clinton and his family with various activities to mark his 60th birthday in August. The program items in which a guest was able to participate was based on the amount of money they had donated to the William J. Clinton Foundation. Anyone who donated at least 60,000 US dollars was invited, for which, among other things, they received a seat at the concert. From an amount of 500,000 dollars, the donor also received a backstage ID as part of the most extensive package . The Rolling Stones donated part of the concert tickets for October 29th to the charity. Producer Steve Bing, who was friends with Bill Clinton, acted as one of several honorary hosts during the three days of the event.

To all the interesting moments to catch on stage, Scorsese and put cinematographer Robert Richardson , a large number of cameras in a small space a (sixteen 35-mm -cinematographic cameras from Arri and a digital cinema camera of the type Panavision Genesis ), which complement each other and at a Film changes could stand in for each other. Two 16 mm Arri film cameras were used for black-and-white recordings, which were used to shoot images for the introduction of the film away from the stage. The camera team headed by Richardson included others like Stuart Dryburgh , Robert Elswit , Ellen Kuras , Andrew Lesnie , Emmanuel Lubezki , Declan Quinn and John Toll . The filming took a total of five days - two concerts took place, three were intended for test recordings.

Planning the camerawork was made more difficult by the fact that communication between Martin Scorsese and the band had to be carried out mostly via telephone calls until some time before the shoot, as humorously indicated in the opening sequence of the film, since the Rolling Stones were on tour and Scorsese were elsewhere was busy completing his thriller Departed . The portrayal in the film, according to which Martin Scorsese only received the setlist at the moment of the appearance, is a deliberately exaggerated staging of the actual process. According to keyboardist Chuck Leavell, Scorsese had been asking for a setlist for about six weeks at the beginning of rehearsals at the Beacon Theater on October 24th, which is why he had been given at least a number of very likely titles. The band did not make their final selection of songs until they were in the theater. The setlist for the concert on October 29th was finally completed in the last few hours before the performance. The list for the second show shown in the film was no different, according to Scorsese. However, after the first concert in the Beacon Theater, he had already prepared for a presumably similar program for the coming evening and was therefore not as unprepared as the film suggests shortly before the performance. The setlist of the second concert is then largely identical to that of the previous one. On neither of the two evenings did the Rolling Stones play pieces from the then-current studio album A Bigger Bang , which gave the current tour its name.

When editing the film, the decision was made to include the appearance from November 1st in the documentary, as both the concert and the camera work were much better than on October 29th, the band and film team in a certain way served as a dress rehearsal. One reason may have been that Mick Jagger, who was already suffering from problems due to voice overexertion during rehearsals at the Beacon Theater on October 24th, 25th and 26th, according to Leavell, was in worse vocal condition on the first evening than on the second Evening was. His voice problems meant that an upcoming appearance in Atlantic City on October 27th during the tour was postponed to a later date and the second concert originally planned for October 31st at the Beacon Theater was postponed to November 1st.

The actual order of the performances was retained in the film, but the pieces I'm Free (after As Tears Go By ) and Honky Tonk Women (after Live with Me ) were omitted in order to bring the film to a planned length of two hours.

The intercut archive material shows short excerpts from recorded press conferences, television programs and films from various countries ( USA , Canada , Great Britain , Denmark , France , Germany, Japan , Australia ) from the period 1964–1999. These include the early Rolling Stones music documentary Charlie Is My Darling, produced by Andrew Loog Oldham , and three short commercials for the band for their song Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow , which can be considered the forerunners of the first music videos (both directed by Peter Whitehead , 1966); TV shows from which material was extracted include the UK investigative magazine World in Action and the US Dick Cavett Show .

According to sound engineer Bob Clearmountain , who recorded the sound at the Beacon Theater and later created different mixes for the various forms of release (cinema, IMAX , DVD, soundtrack album), almost no overdubs were used. Only about four seconds of a solo by Ron Wood, which he disliked, were subsequently recorded in the studio. In addition, he used technical means to correct mistakes in a few places, such as a wrongly played note. Overdubs and other forms of post-production are not uncommon when it comes to the release of live recordings and in extreme cases can seriously distort the actual concert situation.

On instructions from Scorsese ("I want to hear what I'm seeing on the screen." - 'I want to hear what I see on the screen.') Clearmountain produced mixes for the cinema and the DVD with a changing listener's perspective in which that instrument is placed acoustically in the foreground and can therefore be heard a little louder that can be seen in the picture at the same time.

In the credits, the film is dedicated to Ahmet Ertegün , the co-founder of Atlantic Records . On the first day of the concert recording, Ertegün fell behind the stage in an area known as the “Rattlesnake Inn” and suffered severe head injuries, as a result of which he died on December 14, 2006.

 Scorsese chose the film title, which quotes the Rolling Stones song Shine a Light - 'Pointing the light [on something]' - to express that he gives the rock band special shine and meaning for a moment in the backdrop of the Beacon Theater wanted to illuminate their music both culturally and personally for him. Shine a Light isn't Scorsese's first film to feature Rolling Stones music. In the course of his life, the director felt inspired by it again and again and accordingly often used it as film music in his feature films. Before shooting, he had used the title Gimme Shelter three times (in the films Good Fellas - Three decades in the Mafia , Casino and Departed - Unter Feinden ).

Other music films directed by Scorsese include the musical New York, New York  (1977), the concert film The Band - The Last Waltz  (1978), the music video for Michael Jackson's pop song Bad  (1987) and the documentaries Feel like Going Home  (2003) on the history of the blues , No Direction Home  (2005) on Bob Dylan and George Harrison  - Living in the Material World  (2011).  He was involved in editing the documentary Woodstock (1970) about the 1969 music festival of the same name.

movie theater

The concert film was originally scheduled to open in theaters in September 2007, but the date was postponed to April 4, 2008. Paramount stated that the reason was that the Rolling Stones would otherwise not have had enough time for the advertising campaign in the run-up to the film's release because of their A Bigger Bang tour, which ended on August 26, 2007.

On April 4, Shine a Light came to cinemas in the USA as well as in Germany and Austria; in German-speaking Switzerland, the start date fell on April 17th. The companies Kinowelt (Germany), Filmladen (Austria) and Filmcoopi (Switzerland) took over the distribution . The screenings were in the original English version with German, and in German-speaking Switzerland German and French subtitles. The film was also shown in IMAX format.

DVD and Blu-ray

The film was released in the United States on July 29, 2008 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc from Paramount Home Entertainment . The Swiss company Impuls Home Entertainment launched the film on October 2, 2008, the German company Kinowelt Home Entertainment on October 17 under its Arthaus brand , each also on DVD and Blu-ray.

As an encore, the discs contain the performances of not included in the film

as well as a quarter-hour contribution with unused recordings from the area behind the stage and other archive material.

watch TV

It was first broadcast on German-language television on October 4, 2009 on the Austrian broadcaster ORF 2 as part of the dok.film series, with which ORF 2 is regularly devoted to documentary film. Shine a Light was shown for the first time on German and Swiss television on October 10, 2009 as part of the five-part series Keep On Rocking on 3sat .

Press review

The German reviews were mixed.

Above all, the quality of Shine a Light as a documentary film was rated negatively, as the film was sometimes referred to as such in the run-up to its release. Some critics had hoped for something else in this regard from the work of a well-known director through a well-known band. Holger Kreitling from Die Welt described the high, in his opinion disappointed, expectations with: "The Stones and Scorsese, that has the same height as Shakespeare and Caravaggio ."

In addition to the concert recordings , Markus Zinsmaier from Zeit Online lacked any effort on the part of the director to convey new knowledge about the Rolling Stones: “What prompted Scorsese to devote himself to the most filmed band in the world will remain his secret. He failed to take a fresh look at the myth of the Rolling Stones. […] The result is a largely perfectly orchestrated concert film that does not know how to add new images to the already known ones. "

As a concert film , Michael Defrancesco from the Rhein-Zeitung liked Shine a Light very much, but he also failed as a documentary film: “'Shine A Light' was announced as a documentary about the Rolling Stones. But what the legendary director Martin Scorsese brings to the cinemas today has turned out to be a miserable documentary - the film, however, is brilliant as a concert recording! [...] 'Shine A Light' is not a documentation. No film that looks behind the scenes that comes close to the Stones. If that really was Scorsese's claim, then he missed his own goal by miles. "

Shine a Light was not able to convince Walter Gasperi of culture online either as a concert or as a documentary . He criticized the intercut archive material as "overall poor accessory" that conveyed "almost no information about the history of the band" and even found it disturbing. Because this resulted in “not a really pure concert film […] and certainly not a multi-layered documentary that illuminates the background”, but a kind of “hybrid”. Shine a Light is mainly interesting for fans.

Silvia Hallensleben from Tagesspiegel diagnosed an "inconspicuously pleasing ingratiation to the event" instead of the "spontaneity and curiosity in the encounter between filmmaker and subject" that she expected from a documentary film and believed that she recognized the reason for this: Shine a Light was a product of the "Marketing machinery of the Stones, which throws newly made sound and visual material on the market in calculated alternation", and in this context the Scorsese hired by the band probably had little "to say". She saw this confirmed, for example, in the opening sequence: “The 'making-of' intro is best understood as a diversionary maneuver that plays through the perceived helplessness [Scorseses] on secondary questions.” Shine a Light primarily serves to promote perseverance to praise the band, which is also what the “humorous interview bits” would aim at. Scorsese also likes to stage himself as a vigorous aging artist. Aesthetically, the film is therefore a “rather pompous promo in its own right, which - as a widely exhibited proof of willingness to perform by all those involved - relies on being overwhelmed by technical perfection.” In terms of content, it is sufficient as a “family film for the heart of the established Woodstock generation”.

For Holger Kreitling, too, the “will to market” was in the foreground at Shine a Light . Martin Scorsese acts “as an additional, less influential brand mark” in the Rolling Stones marketing concept. Markus Zinsmaier thought the film suffered from the fact that Scorsese himself was a fan of the band.

Although Shine a Light failed to convince as a documentary film, the reviewers also found words of appreciation. In spite of his criticisms, Holger Kreitling was able to get positive out of the film: “But you can just aside these concerns and listen. The Stones are an ancient band, but they don't show it. If you look beyond the folds, they do a remarkable job. The past is only there to be transferred into the present. In 'Shine A Light' they easily transform rock 'n' roll into contemporary pop. "

Andreas Platthaus from FAZ.net said: “Scorsese has neither achieved their own concert film ' Last Waltz ' nor ' Gimme Shelter '. But it gave us a rousing piece of music cinema ”. Everything is “staged with such irony that 'Shine a Light', even in the middle of the concert, invites you to laugh again and again at these four mid-sixties, who are watched by another mid-sixties [Scorsese] having the fun of their lives ". He was also amused by the first ten minutes in which Scorsese seemed to try Woody Allen's humor , making Shine a Light something like the "first comedy about the Rolling Stones".

Walter Gasperi saw himself entertained “in the best Scorsese style” by “dynamism and proximity to the camera” as well as a “rapid cut” (“You don't think you're in the first row here, you feel like you're on stage”) and thought I liked the “terrific, computer-simulated tracking shot from the sky to the entrance of the Beacon Theater”.

Some were irritated by the presence of the Clintons in Shine a Light . Music critic Uwe Golz from Deutschlandradio Kultur believed that he discovered politically motivated aspects. He rated it as "active campaign support" in favor of Hillary Clinton that a charity concert by the Rolling Stones for the Clinton Foundation was documented together with pictures of the Clinton couple in a film that celebrated its world premiere during the presidential primaries in the USA. “It didn't have to be if it was a Stones film, a [sic!] Pure Stones film.” Walter Gasperi, too, “couldn't get rid of the stupid feeling that the film director is here as an election worker for Hillary Clinton want to operate ".

The German release of the soundtrack took place at Polydor .

The album was produced by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards aka The Glimmer Twins and co-producer Bob Clearmountain . The latter was also responsible for the sound recordings in the Beacon Theater and did the mixing in his own recording studio Mix This! in California and at Townhouse Studios in London . The audio mastering was done by Stephen Marcussen from the Californian company Marcussen Mastering.
