BOB
DYLAN DON'T LOOK BACK
04/22/11
Bob Dylan fans and film aficionados alike have reason to celebrate on April 26, when a pair of classic documentaries, each chronicling and illuminating different aspects of Bob Dylan in the 1960s, will be released on state-of-the-art Blu-ray disc (BD) for the very first time..
Both D.A. Pennebaker’s Dont Look Back, a pioneering masterwork of cinéma vérité, and Murray Lerner’s revelatory musical time-capsule The Other Side Of The Mirror – Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 provide indispensable glimpses into Dylan and his pivotal role as an American artist in the 1960s, each film capturing an earlier era with heart-breaking immediacy.
New Video’s Docurama Films® presents the first Blu-ray release of Dont Look Back, newly mastered in high definition (HD) and featuring a brand new and exclusive interview with D.A. Pennebaker, the film’s director, and renowned rock and culture critic Greil Marcus..
The Blu-ray edition also includes bonus material from the 2007 DVD release: 65 Revisited; Five Additional Uncut Audio Tracks; Commentary by D.A. Pennebaker and tour road manager Bob Neuwirth; Alternate Version of the “Subterranean Homesick Blues” Cue Card Sequence; Original Theatrical Trailer..
When acclaimed documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, The War Room) filmed Bob Dylan during a three-week concert tour of England in the spring of 1965, he had no idea he was about to lens one of the 1960s most iconic feature films. Wanting to make more than just a concert film, Pennebaker decided to seek out both the public and private Bob Dylan. With unobtrusive equipment and rare access to the elusive performer, he achieved a fly-on-the-wall view of one of the most influential musicians of any era — and redefined filmmaking along the way..
New Video launched Docurama Films® in 1999 with Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back, the first feature documentary ever available on DVD. Twelve years and 250 award-winning, highly-acclaimed documentary titles later, Docurama continues to discover and release the greatest non-fiction films of our time while spreading the word about filmmakers who are taking the form to new heights.
