Will G @Wgoodeve Dec 28, 2024 This was a great documentary about Bob Dylan. All of the songs were awesome. It was mostly him hanging out with his musician friends and talking to reporters. It was nice to see London. See more Jim A @RT82081131 Dec 23, 2024 Four of us old enough to remember Bob bursting on the scene saw this last night. We all thought the movie was awful - like a poor home movie. Most of us wanted to leave. Little singing, some Dylan pestilence and broken up jittery, dark photography. Best part was some of Joan Baez singing in a couple of scenes. She had such a wonderful voice. Better skip this one.

Just before he went electric. Bob is mesmerising to watch here. Music is amazing and the way people are around him is also fascinating See more Jun 26, 2021 Do you want to see Bob being indifferent to the lovely Joan Baez and watch their relationship crumble on film? Or, would you like to see boyish Bob flirt with a boyish Donovan over song? This one is for you! This is the ultimate boy Bob Dylan documentary which captures him at the height of his fame early in his career, so you get to see a Bob that's smitten with other famous-types here, probably something you would no longer find in a very worldly Dylan who won't even show up for his own Nobel Peace Prize*. Here he brazenly battles unhip news men, rants like a college drop-out, and shows what a little cocky young chap he was.** *The Nobel Peace Prize was originally created to put a nicey-nice-love-n-peace veil on top of Nobel's weapons manufacturing. **Severely insecure.

Pennebaker's documentary of Bob Dylan's 1965 concert tour of England, probably doesn't pack the same punch today as it did when released in 1967, mainly because Dylan was still a bit of a social and artistic enigma at that time. Now recognized as the songwriting genius that he is, as well as a taciturn, prickly, arrogant, and somewhat esoteric court jester, Don't Look Back helped identify who Dylan was as both a man and a musician. The highlights of the film include his appearance at the Royal Albert Hall and a fantastic scene of Dylan and Donovan playing in a crowded hotel room. Despite the fact that the dialogue is difficult to pick up at times in some scenes, it's worth watching to get a glimpse into the mind of a young Dylan. See more Read all reviews
