    Amazing . . .

    My dear niece, who first invited me to join flixster actually, was working the bar at a London venue where Bob Dylan was playing. At some point she was sent backstage to deliver Dylan a beer. Like me, my niece is a big fan of his; we still are. Her report: H

    I'm sure Dylan is not the only celebrity who may not come off well from time to time in public interaction. I know I'd never want to have a beer with Dylan, but I won't let his personality quirks color the power of his music for me. My niece and I do remain big fans.

    Note to self: You will never be famous. How do I know this? No one ever follows me around like this in my day-to-day routine with a camera.

    I?ve always been a casual Bob Dylan fan, and recently I?ve become more and more aware of this D.A. Pennebaker documentary chronicling his 1965 English tour. A lot of this footage has become iconic out of context, a handful of quotes from it were used in Todd Hayne?s film I?m Not...( read more) There and outtakes from the film were used in Martin Scorsese?s documentary No Direction Home. The film has a lot of footage of people making asses of themselves in Dylan?s presence, and Dylan being a dick to them partly because they deserve it and partly because he?s an asshole. While Dylan?s behavior is not entirely savory, it is interesting, so the Doc works pretty well.

    It's a great "fly-on-the-wall" documentary. D.A. Pennebaker really constructed one heck of a portrait. Although it seems somewhat on the side of trying to show Dylan as "super cool" and "super philosophical", which ends up making him look like he's a jerk talking out of his ass. ...( read more)Great musician though.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

D.A. Pennebaker's 1967 film, which invented the rock documentary, is a time capsule from the period when Sgt. Pepper was steamrolling Mr. Tambourine Man. full review
