“Unmistakably iconic stuff — a thorny document that simultaneously immortalizes and obfuscates its subject, which is about as appropriate a contradiction as one could imagine for Dylan’s music.”
—Slant
One of the best music docs and an endlessly fascinating portrait of a young artist at work and play as the culture around him bends to his contours. Bob Dylan, newly psychedelicized, is seen as he tours England. The fans are expecting more of the “Blowin’ In The Wind” Dylan, but they get “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” Dylan. Throughout, Dylan is trying out the persona (enigmatic, cool, tough, poetic, mercurial) that will fascinate the world and form the archetype of bad boyfriends everywhere.
