- "Shine A Light" Hits Cinemas 29 May

 Attention all retro fans! "Shine A Light" is hitting cinemas on 29 May.

The Rolling Stones were less a rock than a freewheeling boulder when the band began to develop some serious momentum during the 1970s. The film is a Martin Scorcese documentary that covers the legendary band as it performed in the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City during 2006,

Mick Jagger first suggested the movie, when he expressed a desire to make a film about "the group's biggest concert ever".  But as ideas evolved, Scorcese canvassed a smaller stage; a more intimate experience; with "the best cameramen in the world" The result is pure concentrate: only the best juice. Scorcese wanted audiences watching the film to feel "like they were on the stage with [the Rolling Stones]" and the result is spectacular.

The movie draws together the talents of a whole host of multi-award winning cinematographers, including Robert Richardson ("The Aviator", "JFK"); John Toll ("The Last Samurai," "Braveheart");  Andrew Lesnie ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong"); Stuart Dryburgh ("The Piano," "The Painted Veil"); Robert Elswit ("There Will Be Blood," "Magnolia," "Good Night and Good Luck."); Emmanuel Lubezki ("Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events," "Sleepy Hollow"); and Ellen Kuras ("Summer of Sam," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"). The film was made in both regular and Imax formats, so you're bound to be as close and sweaty as filmmaking gets.

"Shine A Light" is a breathtaking and unique gaze at the band that moulded rock n roll history.  To catch more info about the film, just click through to the official website at www.shinealight.com.au.
