NEW YORK, March 30 (UPI) --
The impending release of the concert movie "Shine a Light" will offer a glimpse into the raucous musical lives of the British rock group, the Rolling Stones.
Filmed by Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson and directed by Martin Scorsese, "Light" captured a live performance by the Stones at Broadway's Beacon Theatre, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.
The band's 64-year-old guitarist, Keith Richards, said the project should represent a perfect blend of music and cinema thanks to Scorsese's directorial touch.
"The show was a good one," Richards said, "but you have to know that it's not just about the band, right? It's about Martin Scorsese ... it's a rock show painted by a Rembrandt."
In production notes, Scorsese states his initial plan of filming a large Stones concert was dismissed for a more intimate look at the band at the 2,800-seat New York theater.
"At a certain point I thought making something more intimate would be suited to me as a filmmaker and would also facilitate a more personal connection between the audience and the band," the famed director said.
The Times said "Light" is to be released in select theaters across the United States on Friday.
