Movie Reviews of Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back
Movie Review: "Harry Jackson, a cowboy singer and a painter..."
Summary: 4 Stars
Great inside look at some legends from our youth. Those were great times in which to live. There was so much hope that we could make a difference and Dylan became the poet/catalyst for a generation of individuals who became a movement for social justice. We could use some of that power today.
peace and love,

Movie Review: Only interested in the performances
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because I wanted to watch the performances. The rest was just gossip. I was not disappointed in the performances. They are great. I can see why people got a little bit attached to this period in his career, but if we all pay close attention, each period in his career is special. We get a chance to watch him communcate lovingly with his muse and their relationship always stirs the soul.Movie Review: Region code?!
Summary: 5 Stars
Funny thing to mention here is that the stated region block (region 1) isn't really present. I took the shot to order this and unlock my DVD player if I had to (I live in Amsterdam, region 2) but I didn't have to!! This DVD is region free! Thanks Amazon, but in future it would be nice to provide correct region-information. I bet that a lot European (and perhaps Australian, Russian and so on) customers cancel their order because of the region code not corresponding with their country region.
Regards
Movie Review: EXCELENTE REEDICION , DIGNA DE DYLAN
Summary: 5 Stars
PODES ESTAR DE ACUERDO O NO CON EL VALOR HISTORICO DE ESTA PELICULA...CRUDA, AUSTERA, MARAVILLOSA, SENCILLA, MONOTONA A VECES, INQUIETANTE, MORDAZ, PERO EL CUIDADO EXPUESTO EN ESTA NUEVA EDICION ES SOBRESALIENTE....QUIZAS COMO DICEN ALGUNOS, NO ES MAS QUE EL RETRATO DE UN ARTISTA EN GIRA, CON TODAS SUS GRANDEZAS Y SU BASURA..QUIZAS TENGAN RAZON ,LA DIFERENCIA ES QUE ESE ARTISTA ES BOB DYLAN!! EL DVD NUEVO AGREGA MAS MOMENTOS..TAL VEZ DE MENOR IMPORTANCIA (POR ALGO FUERON DEJADOS DE LADO EN SU MOMENTO) PERO COMPLETAN EN DEFINITIVA LA IDEA ORIGINAL..MUY SIMPATICO EL DETALLE DEL LIBRITO CON LAS IMAGENES DE LA APERTURA (MITICA!)EN RESUMEN, UNA NUEVA PRESENTACION ESMERADA, BELLA QUE ENCIERRA EL TESTIMONIO FIEL DE UNA EPOCA (QUE DICHO SEA DE PASO, NO CONDUJO A NINGUN LADO!!!) Movie Review: Don't Look Back, Fast Forward--
Summary: 5 Stars
The first edition of Don't Look Back was the first DVD I ever bought and I bought a DVD player the same day.
It is an execellent example of the power and pitfalls of "cinema verite/direct cinema", a style emerging in the 1960s made possible by lightweight sound sync cameras and recorders, zoom lenses, and fast film stock. The "who threw the f-- glass" altercation followed by the cruel juxtoposition of Donovon offering "Song for You" to which Dylan responds with a smirk and "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" is one of the great passages in documentary film.
You may love or hate Dylan's music and after watching the film, you aren't left with any illusions about him being a nice person. But he is a force of nature. Lyrics poured through him, some timely, some timeless, raw ones and delicate ones. For me he was always better on recordings than in person, and the film reminds me why. But I'm glad to have this glimpse of the artist.
I don't know about the "deluxe edition". It may be worth it for the higher quality telecine transfer. The original film does not need amplification. It reveals more about Dylan than the bloated "No Direction Home" that used so much of the same footage.
