Reviews: "...A time capsule..." (Chicago Sun-Times, 05/01/1998, p.37, Roger Ebert), "Bob Dylan on the road in England, 1965...all hostile glamour and wired rock & roll charisma..." (Rolling Stone, 11/27/2003, p.79, Rolling Stone Staff), "[Dylan's] restlessness to move beyond his folk troubadour phase is responsible for much of this film's crackling musical tension." (Mojo, 12/01/2004, p.62, Mojo Staff), 5 stars out of 5 -- "Watching it now is to see pop culture being born. It was Pennebaker's good fortune to be in the room at a moment of great significance." (Uncut, 03/01/2007, Alastair McKay), "[S]hot in black and white, with Dylan frequently in black moods and nearly always exhibiting white-hot creative power....[The documentary] remains a mesmerizing document." -- Grade: B (Entertainment Weekly, 03/02/2007, p.55, Ken Tucker), "Unflinchingly real where other 1960s rock films dealt in fantasy, DON'T LOOK BACK is about more than music....The most objective portrait of Bob Dylan we've ever had..." (Sight and Sound, 07/01/2007, p.88, Tim Lucas)

Synopsis: The rock and roll documentary that launched a thousand imitations, D.A. Pennebaker's loose shooting style and focused interviewing paved the way for films of this nature; it details Dylan's celebrated 1965 tour of England and features appearances by Joan Baez and Dylan's manager Albert Grossman. The film also includes one-of-a-kind performances of "The Times, They Are a Changin'," "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," and "Subterranean Homesick Blues."
