Review of Bob Dylan – Don't Look Back (1967) by Mike T — 18 Mar 2010
This isn't just a great music documentary... this is a great film. Director D.A. Pennebaker does a lot of inventive things to ensure that his movie will stand on its own and he succeeds. This is a candid, brilliantly energetic glimpse into the life of a genius, and it captures so much of the madness and the humour and the excitement that we want to see.
Dylan is the best subject that a filmmaker could find for this sort of feature. He is absolutely fascinating to watch. The final scene is so intimate, it could arguably be seen as profound. The loose black-and-white photography is beautiful, and Dylan's music further underlines how enjoyable this movie is.
