Bob Dylan is captured on-screen as he never would be again in this groundbreaking film from D.A.Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, Company). The legendary documentarian finds Dylan in London during his 1965 tour, which would be his last as an acoustic artist and marked a turning point in his career. In this wildly entertaining vision of one of the twentieth centurys greatest artists thrust into the spotlight, Dylan is surrounded by teen fans; gets into heated philosophical jousts with journalists; and kicks back with fellow musicians Joan Baez, Donovan, and Alan Price. Featuring some of Dylans most famous songs, including Subterranean Homesick Blues, The Times They Are A-Changin, and Its All Over Now, Baby Blue,Dont Look Backis a radically conceived and shot portrait of an American icon that has influenced decades of vrit behind-the-scenes documentaries.
