Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back

In 1965, Dylan went on tour in England. D.A. Pennebaker, already considered a groundbreaking documentarian, was invited by Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, to document the journey. True to the "fly on the wall" approach, the result features fewer songs on stage and more behind-the-scenes footage—meetings with fans, conversations with reporters, time in the dressing room, and more. The way Dylan chooses to handle all of this is what made the film a classic. Dont Look Back solidifies his unique image: hiding behind sunglasses, a cigarette, or a guitar, Dylan emerges as a brilliant, witty, sharp-tongued artist who is impossible to take your eyes off of, and whose character is even more difficult to decipher.
