In 1975 in an America defined by both the self-mythologizing pomp of the upcoming bicentennial and ongoing socio-political turmoil BOB DYLAN and a band of troubadours-including luminaries such as JOAN BAEZ ALLEN GINSBERG and JONI MITCHELL-embarked on a now-legendary tour known as The Rolling Thunder Revue a freewheeling variety show that was part traveling counterculture carnival part spiritual pilgrimage. Director MARTIN SCORSESE (The Irishman) blends behind-the-scenes archival footage interviews and narrative mischief with a magician’s sleight of hand into a zeitgeist-defining cultural record that is as much a concert documentary as it is a slippery chimerical investigation into memory time truth and illusion. At the centre of it all is the magnetic Dylan a sphinx-like philosopher-poet singing with electrifying conviction to the soul of an anxious nation.DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital master approved by director Martin ScorseseNew interviews with Scorsese editor David Tedeschi and writer Larry Ratso SlomanRestored footage of never-before-seen Rolling Thunder Revue performances of Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here with You and Romance in Durango and a new extended cut of Tangled Up in Blue Restoration demonstrationTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: A new essay by novelist Dana Spiotta
