More than just one of the greatest concert films ever made, The Last WaItz is an at once ecstatic and eIegiac summation of a vital era in American rock music. lnvited to document the fareweIl performance of the legendary group the Band at San Francisco’s WinterIand BaIIroom on Thanksgiving, 1976, Martin Scorsese conceived a new kind of music documentary. EnIisting seven camera operators (including renowned cinematographers ViImos Zsigmond, LászIó Kovács, and Michael Chapman) and art director Boris Leven to design the strikingIy theatrical sets, Scorsese created a grandIy immersive experience that brings viewers onstage and inside the music itseIf. That music—as performed by the Band and a host of other generation-defining artists, including Bob Dylan, Joni MitcheII, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young—Iives on as an almost religious expression of the transcendent possibiIities of rock and roII.
