No Direction Home: Bob Dylan is a 2005 documentary film by Martin Scorsese that traces the life of Bob Dylan, and his impact on 20th-century American popular music and culture. The film focuses on the period between Dylan's arrival in New York in January 1961 and his "retirement" from touring following his motorcycle accident in July 1966. This period encapsulates Dylan's rise to fame as a folk singer and songwriter, and the controversy surrounding his move to a rock style of music.
Netflix has announced that Martin Scorsese will direct a documentary about Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story will feature new on-camera interviews with the legendary songwriter. The streaming platform says the film captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year. It is due later this year
Bob Dylan, Martin Scorsese Reunite for ‘Rolling Thunder’ Film, Coming to Netflix in 2019 (EXCLUSIVE). Netflix describes Scorsese's look at Dylan and famous friends in '75 as part documentary, part concert movie and part "fever dream. The tightly-under-wraps project is said not to be quite as much of a straightforward documentary as Scorsese’s previous Dylan film, 2005’s No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, which zeroed in on Dylan’s crucial 1965-66 going electric period. The third release in the series, back in 2002, was Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue, but that was a mere two-disc set structured pretty much like a straight live album, and was thought of by fans as a lost opportunity, before the Bootlegs began expanding to six or eight discs at a clip.
Directed by Martin Scorsese. Rolfzen, Dick Kangas, Liam Clancy. A chronicle of Bob Dylan's strange evolution between 1961 and 1966 from folk singer to protest singer to "voice of a generation" to rock star. Director: Martin Scorsese. Rolfzen, Dick Kangas See full cast & crew .
The seventh volume of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series doubles as the soundtrack to No Direction Home, Martin Scorsese's feature-length documentary covering Dylan's career from its beginnings to 1966 (it was aired in two parts on PBS in September 2005 and released in expanded form on DVD that same month)
No Direction Home, has twenty-six unreleased recordings, the best of them from the electric glory of 1965-66, the very peak of Zimmer-osity. Some of it has never even hit the Dylan-freak tape circuit, such as the live 1961 This Land Is Your Land. Disc One has the riotous Freewheelin‘ outtake Sally Gal, plus the teenage home recording When I Got Troubles. It fits especially well since No Direction Home is a Scorsese documentary on Dylan, and Ballad of a Thin Man could pass for a Dylan documentary on Scorsese. They’re a fascinating pair of geniuses, two of America’s most fanatic hearts, both lonely men obsessed with immigrant culture, old-world religion, Elvis, doo-wop, the Depression, New York and the Sixties.
