About this product

Product Information

Spawning both politically charged folk ballads that came to embody the very spirit of the turbulent 1960s ("The Times They are a-Changin") and sprawling, stream-of-consciousness litanies that irrevocably changed the face of rock music ("Like a Rolling Stone"), the years between 1961-1966 were inarguably the most artistically fertile for legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. Director Martin Scorsese--who had previously worked with Dylan on the Band's farewell concert film THE LAST WALTZ (1978)--crafts an unprecedented exploration of the musician's creative process during this crucial five-year period with the historical PBS documentary event NO DIRECTION HOME. Part of PBS's AMERICAN MASTERS series, the film is the first ever film biography of the enigmatic, near-reclusive Dylan, who grants Scorsese his first full-length interview in 20 years for a startlingly intimate and endlessly revealing portrait of a true American icon.Bookended by his early days in the legendary Greenwich Village folk scene and the 1966 motorcycle accident that nearly claimed his life, Dylan's exclusive interview is supplemented with a wealth of archival footage that includes personal home movies from his childhood in Minnesota; unreleased interviews with colleagues Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Maria Muldaur; and rare live performances of classics like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Mr. Tambourine Man." In addition, the Bob Dylan Archives opens its extensive film, tape, and stills collection for never-before-seen concert and television appearances (including the infamous "electric" set at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival) and outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker's acclaimed 1967 documentary DON'T LOOK BACK. The result is a richly visual counterpart to Dylan's bestselling memoir CHRONICLES: VOLUME 1 that stands as a cinematic testament to the life and work of one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century.

  • No Direction Home - A Must See for Every Dylan Fan

    Fascinating documentary on Bob Dylan's early years and the folk music scene. I'd never have imagined that I'd get to hear Bob Dylan's narrative as it is here - totally frank and friendly. There's lots of good music here too - mostly from Dylan but also from people like Hank Williams, the Clancy Brothers, Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie (Brief but as much as I've ever been able to find) and much more. I lived this era. I shared it with my son for a great even of family fun and togetherness. It's long at 5 hours or so and every second was fascinating. Every Bob Dylan fan should love this DVD. I can't recommend it enough

  • Great History of American Folk Music

    I really liked this documentary. It not only gave me some insight into Bob Dylan, but it really does cover his journey well. It's also a great documentary on American Folk Music and the Beatnik or counter culture movement which then extended into the turbulent 1960's and early 1970's anti-war movements. I liked this so well, I bought two more to give as gifts to friends. If you were lucky to live during these times, you will really appreciate re-living the times that were a changing.

  • A troubled musical genius

    As a historical documentary this works. As entertainment, it's too long and covers too much musical history pre-Bob Dylan. If you want to know even thing that happened in his life, this is it.
