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