PBS American Masters:
Bob Dylan
Airing September 26-27th, 2005
A film directed by Martin Scorsese.
Bob Dylan gives his only full length interview in 20 years, participating
for the very first time in an exclusive film biography. From his explosive
arrival on the downtown New York City scene in 1961 - with a raspy voice,
pounding guitar and stunning lyrics - through his near-fatal motorcycle
accident in Woodstock in 1966, no one had more of an impact and no one
changed the landscape of contemporary music more profoundly. Private, almost
reclusive, disdainful of customary forms of publicity, Dylan has now agreed
to make an appearance in his own story, illuminated in particular by this
remarkable five-year period. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the intimate and
incomparable film includes an archive of, literally, never-before-seen
footage from childhood, from the road and from backstage, as well as
unreleased interviews conducted over the past 15 years with other seminal
figures from those times - some of whom, like Allen Ginsberg, are long dead.
And, Dylan brings the rights to his legendary music with him - Blowin' in
the Wind, Like a Rolling Stone, Don't Think Twice, Mr. Tambourine Man, It
Ain't Me Babe, Just Like A Woman, Positively 4th Street, The Times They Are
A-Changin' - and infinitely on and on.
