Movie Reviews of Masked and AnonymousMovie Review: Bob at his finest Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, what a movie. This movie is like following Dylan in some alternate reality. Part science fiction, part social and political commentary, part comedy, part music documentary. The supporting cast is brilliant with excelent preformances by Lang and Goodman. Dylan delivers in a deadpan style that really works. He comes across as part prophet, part drifter, and the only reasonably sane person in the movie. If you like Dylan, you'll like this movie. The music was fantastic too (a rendition of the folk song Diamond Joe stands out for me as one of the highlights)
Movie Review: Dylan's Autobiography Summary: 5 Stars
Ok.
Forget "Chronicles". Forget "No Direction Home". THIS is Dylan's autobiography! Candid, hilarious at times, and as pointed as it's ever going to get. From Jeff Bridges (as the journalist) asking all the stupid questions Bob's ever been asked to Penelope Cruz understanding that "his songs are open to any interpretation" - it's all you need to know. It's also a pretty good movie even if you know NOTHING about Dylan's music. And the song performances by Dylan's Larry Campbell led band (my favourite Dylan Band since Rolling Thunder) are great. It's a hoot!
Movie Review: A Modern Morality Play Summary: 5 Stars
A very pleasant surprise after Rinaldo and Clare and Hearts of Fire. It comes across like a classic. The plot seems modeled after "Everyman", the medieval morality play with Dylan playing "Everyman" and the other leads as the human foibles of greed, power, etc. Christian Slater is like Shakespeare's "gravedigger". There are poetry, puns, circus (Kilmer's animal tamer, Pope and Ghandi look-alikes). Great filming and performance footage. Very creative and unlike any movie I've seen. I need to see many times to fully appreciate.
Movie Review: A gold mine for Dylan fans! Summary: 5 Stars
I was a bit worried about this film because i had read such bad reviews online, and it did not even get released in Australia. How could this be, the answer is simple, the reveiwers namely Roger Ebert are complete monkey's. This film is great. Its like a Lynch film with meaning, and you will want to watch it again and again. The music is great, it features his latest, and best touring band. The issue that come up are very true and relevant. The whole cast is great. Order this movie now!
Movie Review: Dylan fans only please Summary: 5 Stars
You have to know Bob's life, have read his interviews, have listened to the records, know his point of view on things, to fully enjoy this movie. For me, as a long time Dylan fan, this movie is a must, I have watched it over and over, always finding new things and new meanings to the characters and scenes. But if you are watching this movie and have not listened to Desolation Row, dont know who Blind Willie Mctell is, or felt the Idiot wind blowing before, well, dont waste your time here.
