Watched online, ok print.

Mostly b/w with some color sequences.

~44 songs in the Soundtracks, very few not Written and Performed by Bob Dylan. Most are in the background as score.

This film does nothing to help me appreciate Dylan. But for people who already do, and know about the events of his life, this might seem like a profound method for telling the story.

Not worth a second attempt.

Rated 7.0 (53,438)
