After exploring the careers of the Band and
Bob Dylan in
The Last Waltz and No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, respectively, acclaimed director
Martin Scorsese turns his lens on rock & roll legends
The Rolling Stones for this documentary focusing on two concerts from the bands 2006 A Bigger Bang tour. In addition to extensive coverage of the band's two-night stand at New York's Beacon Theater (an engagement that was staged as part of President Bill Clinton's lavish birthday bash), the documentary will also feature historical footage, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage from decades past. Oscar-winning cinematographer
Robert Richardson (
JFK and
The Aviator) supervises photography for the film, with an impressive array of A-list talents, including
Andrew Lesnie,
John Toll, Ellen Kuras, Anastas Michos,
Stuart Dryburgh, Declan Quinn, Emmanuel Lubezki, Robert Elswit, and
Albert Maysles, stepping in to insure that the Beacon performances are covered from every angle possible. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
