Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back

ED. A. Pennebaker shows Bob Dylan in this groundbreaking film in a way he never allowed again. The legendary documentary filmmaker meets Dylan in London during his 1965 tour, which was to be his last as an acoustic folk musician and marked a turning point in his career. In this hugely entertaining vision of one of the 20th century's greatest artists thrust into the limelight, Dylan is surrounded by teenage fans, engages in heated philosophical exchanges with journalists and chats with fellow musicians Joan Baez, Donovan and Alan Price. DONT LOOK BACK is a radically conceived and shot portrait of an American icon that continues to influence documentaries today. We are showing the digitally restored version with the participation of the director.

"The fascinatingly dense reportage conveys an authentic portrait of the singer, but offers no key to understanding his personality." filmdienst.de
