Review of Year of the Horse (1997) by Art S — 22 Apr 2012
Possibly Jim Jarmusch let his fan worship get in the way of making a really good concert documentary of Crazy Horse -- what he ended up with is kind of a mess. He let's the Crazy Horse members act too much like old farts and keeps in footage that he really should have edited out.
That said, if you love it when every Neil Young song turns into a long guitar jam, then the music will carry you through this film. Jarmusch does glimpse transcendence from time to time by intercutting travelling shots into the live shots.
