Netflix will premiere the new Keith Richards documentary directed by Academy Award winning director Morgan Neville, who’s notable work include ’20 Feet from Stardom’ and ‘Best of Enemies’. Keith Richards: Under The Influence will take an unprecedented look at the Rolling Stones guitarist’s influence on the rock n’ roll world.
‘If there’s a Mount Rushmore of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Keith’s face is surely on it. He has always represented the soul of rock music-for all of the light and dark shades that implies,’ said Neville. ‘To my relief, Keith Richards turned out to be a real man – full of humour, knowledge and wisdom. That’s the real Keith we’ve worked to capture in our film and I’m honoured to bring it to a global audience via Netflix.’
Vice President of Original Documentary Programming at Netflix, Lisa Nishimura added, ‘There’s no one who could bring this unprecedented look into the musical influences of Keith Richards to life as distinctively as Morgan Neville. Our viewers around the world are going to love the rare moments he has captured.’
The film utilises an unrestricted approach to explore the life of the rock star, delving into the evolution of his songwriting and performing career which has brought the world an extensive catalogue of pioneering songs and moments. The documentary brings to light many of the people and places which inspired the 71 year old’s music from the early days of the Stones, to his most recent solo album, Chicago.
The film will be available on Netflix from September 18th.
