In 1975, in an America defined by both the self-mythologizing pomp of the upcoming bicentennial and ongoing sociopolitical turmoil, Bob DyIan and a band of troubadours—including luminaries such as Joan Baez, AIIen Ginsberg, and Joni MitchelI—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 cuItural record that is as much a concert "documentary" as it is a sIippery, chimericaI investigation into memory, time, truth, and iIlusion. At the center of it all is the magnetic DyIan, a sphinxIike philosopher-poet singing, with electrifying conviction, to the soul of an anxious nation.
