Surely Bob Dylan is just as influential as Ray Charles (if not more) and Scorsese has hemmed some of the finest films of the passed 30 years, but this is really a form of artist meets artist. Bob Dylan is interviewed and chronicled by none other than Martin Scorsese, and the results show the mending of two geniuses coming together. So what if it's a documentary? It's a fantastic film, and deserves a theateratrical release.
Scorsese doesn't cookie-cut it here, he doesn't give you the sympathetic look on an artist, it's not Hollywood in other words. He gives us a glimpse into a time period in Dylan's live. Could it be that Dylan has done and gone through so much, that a period of no more than 5 years can be edited into a 4 hour film? Yes. And it never feels stingy or overly long.
If you're a Dylan fan (which i am), this film is a MUST. If you're a Scorsese fan, this film is a MUST. If you're a film fan, this film is a MUST. A Great film, and will sure be on many top 10 lists. Now if they only released it theateratrically, maybe it'd be up for an Oscar.
But i'm sure Dylan doesn't mind. Maybe Scorsese does. :(
