Don't Look Back

Screening on Film
Directed by D.A. Pennebaker.
With Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Donovan.
US, 1967, 35mm, black & white, 96 min.

This fascinating document captures the metamorphosis of the young Bob Dylan from pleasant folk singer to withdrawn rock star as his tour moves through a rather gray and unswinging England in 1965. Dark shades firmly in place, music’s greatest chameleon parries and thrusts with square interviewers, jokes with Joan Baez and Donovan, and chuckles over the "anarchist" tag hung on him by the British press. Filmed with a restless hand-held camera, this is a portrait of the artist as an opaque young man.
