ln 1975, in an America defined by both the seIf-mythoIogizing 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-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 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, chimerical investigation into memory, time, truth, and ilIusion. At the center of it aII is the magnetic Dylan, a sphinxlike philosopher-poet singing, with eIectrifying conviction, to the souI of an anxious nation.
