MCT:October 30, 2008Clearly a labor of love, Scorsese brings to light a man who does his best to remain in the dark - non-musically that is. In his songs, Dylan lays bare his soul, yet the public want more. No Direction Home beautifully chronicles the birth of a poet, his songs and his impact on generations. Original footage showing Dylan standing next to the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., Johnny Cash and Andy Warhol indicate just how much a part he was of America's social revolution, and even though his songs are distinctly American, they have a timeless and universal quality. An artist in his own right, Scorsese gives a complete picture of Dylan, including his stubborn and rebellious nature, but does so in a way that makes us understand his frustrations with the media and so-called fans. Most fascinating are interviews with people who have been closest to Dylan, including Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger and even Dylan himself. More than a just musician, Bob Dylan is a storyteller with lyrics that drip with the richest of metaphor. This film is a definite must-see of those who want to know more about this one-of-a-kind artist and his nothing-else-like-it music.

Scorsese makes a four hour documentary on Bob Dylan. Can one ask for anything more? Being a Dylan fanatic, this film is pure heaven. Incredibly, we witness the famous "play it fucking loud" moment. Even more fascinating is watching Dylan and The Band hurry off stage and into the waiting car. We watch as they drive off and a new dawn rises. The man had just made rock history and he's sleeping uncomfortably in the backseat of a car. Ballad of a Thin Man is another highlight - the sheer passion Dylan shows while hammering on the piano keys is breathtaking. All in all, this is a top notch, thoroughly entertaining and emotionally profound documentary. I can't wait until they release something on Dylan's Rolling Thunder years in the 70s. They teased us with the Isis clip off the Bootleg CD.

Perhaps this film doesn't shed a ton of new light on its subject, Bob Dylan, but it does give a very good look at his rise in the music world.

A fascinating portrait of a man who does not want to be nailed down. Captures an excellent sense of time, place and music.

awesome and long documentary about legendary man of mysteries. maybe not for people who are not interested of bob dylan, but those who are, even slightest, i recommend. he's ultimately fascinating and scorcese really caught atmosphere of 60's and bob's earlier years. contrast between material of really young bob and bob of nowaday talking about his past is brilliant.
