Don't Look Back (Docurama)
When acclaimed documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (
Monterey Pop,
The War
Room) filmed Bob Dylan during a three-week concert tour of England in the spring of
1965, he had no idea he was about to lens one of the 1960s most iconic feature films.
Wanting to make more than just a concert film, Pennebaker decided to seek out both
the public and private Bob Dylan.
Special features include:
- Commentary by D.A. Pennebaker and tour road manager Bob Neuwirth

culture critic Greil Marcus
