Pennebaker&#8217;s<\/a> cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 documentary about Bob Dylan on tour in England remains a unique and rare glimpse into his early career. From the opening sequence (essentially a music video for &#8220;Subterranean Homesick Blues&#8221;), in which Dylan flashes homemade lyric cards while Allen Ginsberg lurks in the background, it&#8217;s clear that Dylan&#8217;s subcultural roots were strong &#8212; which is not to say he necessarily comes across as a nice or noble person. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s237dylan.html\">DVD Savant writes in his review<\/a>: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dylan definitely &#8216;performed&#8217;, or as Pennebaker tells it, &#8216;was on&#8217; every time the camera rolled&#8230; The Dylan we do see is far from flattering.  He&#8217;s quiet one moment and pushy the next.   He openly baits reporters who ask vague questions in vain hope of &#8216;drawing him out.&#8217;  He can be something of a bully, and there&#8217;s definitely a macho tone to the way he and his hepcats hold court.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At least there&#8217;s something refreshing in knowing we&#8217;re not seeing a sanitized version of Dylan. He may be performing &#8212; that <em>is<\/em> what he does &#8212; but he allows us a glimpse inside his world (including scenes with an impossibly young Joan Baez) for a few weeks, which is worth it. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 filming and cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-40289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still2-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still2-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Many memorable moments<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-1024x662.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"414\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-65706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-1024x662.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-128x83.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-768x496.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-1536x993.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-2048x1324.png 2048w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dont-Look-Back-Get-Born-418x270.png 418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still-1024x565.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"353\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-40290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dont-Look-Back-Still-768x424.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as an engrossing cult documentary.
