The TVI Take
Scorsese's 2005 three-and-a-half-hour Dylan documentary. The 1961 Greenwich Village arrival through the 1965 electric Newport rupture and the 1966 motorcycle accident retreat.
Archival depth no other filmmaker could have secured, including new on-camera interviews with Dylan himself. Educational about the folk revival, the civil-rights-era musical politics, and the specific cultural event of Dylan's transition from movement spokesman to elusive artist. Cognitive engagement from sustaining a thesis across the runtime.
