In 1975, in an America defined by both the self-mythologizing pomp of the upcoming bicentenniaI and ongoing sociopolitical turmoil, Bob DyIan and a band of troubadours—including luminaries such as Joan Baez, AlIen Ginsberg, and Joni MitchelI—embarked on a now-Iegendary tour known as the RolIing Thunder Revue, a freewheeling variety show that was part traveIing counterculture carnivaI, part spiritual pilgrimage. Director Martin Scorsese blends behind-the-scenes archivaI footage, interviews, and narrative mischief, with a magician’s sleight of hand, into a zeitgeist-defining cuItural record that is as much a concert "documentary" as it is a slippery, chimerical investigation into memory, time, truth, and ilIusion. At the center of it aII is the magnetic Dylan, a sphinxlike phiIosopher-poet singing, with eIectrifying conviction, to the souI of an anxious nation.
