Both a classic documentary and a vital pop-cultural artifact, D.A. Pennebaker's portrait of Bob Dylan captures the seminal singer-songwriter on the cusp of his transformation from folk prophet to rock trendsetter. Shot during Dylan's 1965 British concert tour, Don't Look Back employs an edgy vérité style that was, and is, a snug fit with the artist's own consciously rough-hewn persona. Its handheld black-and-white images and often-gritty London backdrops suggest cinematic extensions of the archetypal monochrome portraits that graced Dylan's career-making early-'60s album jackets. Pennebaker's access to the legendarily private troubadour enables us to witness Dylan's shifting moods as he performs, relaxes with his entourage (including then lover Joan Baez, road manager Bob Neuwirth, and poker-faced manager Albert Grossman), and jousts with other musicians (notably Animals alumnus Alan Price and Scottish folksinger Donovan), fans, and press. It's a measurement of the filmmaker's acuity that the conversations are often as gripping as Dylan's solo performances. Grossman's machinations with British promoters, Baez's hip serenity, a grizzled British journalist's surrender to the fact of Dylan's artistry, and the artist's own taunting dismissal of a clueless sycophant are all absorbing. With the exception of the studio recording of "Subterranean Homesick Blues," the live performances (including five newly restored, complete audio tracks excised from the original film but included on the DVD version) are constrained by crude audio gear. Their urgency, however, is timeless, as is Pennebaker's film, a legitimate cornerstone for any serious rock video collection. --Sam Sutherland

 Best movie ever! November 19, 2008
Kristin M. Day (Greenville, NC)
I LOVE This movie. I have watched it several hundred times by now and the DVD still works perfectly!
the definitive October 10, 2008
Narizdura La Carretera (El Lay, USA)
This documentary has everything you need to know about Dylan, without all the bourgeois intellectualizing. Forget all the books written about him, or other documentaries. Scorsese's No Direction Home is a merciless ripoff of DA Pennebaker, molded into a more narrow-minded view of the artist.
I've tried reading a couple of bios and can't stand all the interpretations and re-interpretations of the artist and his songs. This film, which was way far ahead of its time when first released, lets Dylan, his music and his mystique all speak for themselves.
Pennebaker also directed Monterey Pop Festival, another must-view.

Many productions you are expecting music and all you get is \people talking about each other and occasionally mentioning the artist. Ties is a great documentary as instead of people talking about each other you get a candid look at the artists, on and off the stage.
I was surprise to see such a young Joan Baez and it was fun to listen to her and Bob singing Hank Williams' songs.
Just as I was about to be disappointed because other than "Subterranean Homesick Blues" I thought we would never get a full song until I realized that there were extras with full track extras:
"It Ain't Me Babe" May 10, 1965
"It's All Over Now"/ "Baby Blue" May 10, 1965
"Love Minus Zero/No Limit" May 9, 1965
"The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll" May 10, 1965
"To Ramona" May 4, 1964
I enjoyed the banter between Terry Ellis (science student) and Bob.
Then if you look quickly you will see Marianne Faithfull Soundtrack (writer: "Witches Song") in the movie "The Craft" (1996).
Now we must say good-by to Bob Dylan's last acoustic tour.

AZZART (USA)
Get to know the beginning of a monumental career, and the musician who created it, in this insightful and direct telling of a bit of Bob Dylan's early tour life. This is great!
Must have DVD for Dylan fans June 24, 2008
R. Hendrickson
Absolutly a great DVD. This concert tour was the last before he went on his "electrial" tour. Both DVDs are excellent. This flim puts you right in the middle of the tour in England. If you enjoy the music of Bob Dylan, especially his early years, this is a DVD set you will play over and over.
