"Bob Dylan has led an eventful life. He’s redefined the protest song, influenced the Beatles, found God, and won an Oscar. The nation’s reigning poet laureate continues to make great music and tour nearly 50 years after his rise to the top of the folk scene. His story is legendary and inspiring. But is it cinematic?The real-life Dylan is. D.A. Pennebaker’s Don’t Look Back and Martin Scorsese’s No Direction Home are towering documentaries chronicling the 1965 British tour and Dylan’s life up until his motorcycle wreck, respectively. That Dylan is charming, mysterious, and inspiring. He is as close to a musical superhero as anyone has come, including Elvis.But what about the fictional Dylan? Being a natural storyteller, Dylan seemed fit as any to explore himself on a deeper level. For someone who has successfully dodged the press’ attempts to explain his entire being, surely the man himself could provide the best insight.Unfortunately ... "

"No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005) is a two-disc documentary by Martin Scorsese which covers Dylan’s career to 1966. You will not like this film if you insist on singing in tune, harmonica playing with a sense of musicality, or guitar playing with finesse. But if you are interested in the 60s music scene or if you are simply a Dylan fan, you’ll like this portrait. The strength of the documentary is that it is “loose,” meaning that it spends time creating the milieu in which Dylan thrived (it is 3 ½ hours long).
