Shine a Light (2008)
9/10
Genius
21 May 2008
I remember singing "As Tears Go By" around the campfire in summer camp, and until tonight when I watched this film, I never knew Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote it nor had I seen them sing it.

Then again, I never appreciated rock music until a few years before The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and they produced the successful "Steel Wheels" album.

One of my favorite moments of "Shine a Light" was about halfway through the 2006 concert during a duet with blues musician Buddy Guy on "Champagne and Reefer." There is a scene lasting more than a few seconds when Martin Scorsese directed the camera to hold a shot of Guy smiling and gazing at Jagger. To me, it was a moment of genius acknowledging genius.
