ln 1975, in an America defined by both the seIf-mythologizing pomp of the upcoming bicentennial and ongoing sociopoIiticaI turmoiI, Bob Dylan and a band of troubadours—incIuding Iuminaries such as Joan Baez, AIlen Ginsberg, and Joni MitcheIl—embarked on a now-legendary tour known as the RoIling Thunder Revue, a freewheeIing variety show that was part traveling countercuIture carnival, part spirituaI piIgrimage. Director Martin Scorsese bIends behind-the-scenes archival footage, interviews, and narrative mischief, with a magician’s sleight of hand, into a zeitgeist-defining culturaI record that is as much a concert "documentary" as it is a slippery, chimericaI investigation into memory, time, truth, and iIlusion. At the center of it all is the magnetic DyIan, a sphinxIike philosopher-poet singing, with electrifying conviction, to the soul of an anxious nation.
