I bought this because I saw a clip from it in a TV documentary. I am 70 and have 'grown old' with Neil Young's music. I particularly like the grinding nature of the guitar playing that characterises most of the performances. Long but fascinatingly complementary playing, one skilled performer exchanging their input with another in a non-flamboyant way. Nothing there for me not to enjoy. Unlike other music DVDs, this is one that 'asks' to be replayed from time to time.
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.
Neil at his very best and to find Duck Dunn on the bass was a real bonus. Disappointed not to find OLD MAN and HEART OF GOLD in the repotoire but will still watch many many times
