Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book covers the film work of Bob Dylan with scholarly rigor but goes on to present the subject matter in a lively, readable style that is most enjoyable. The author obviously studied much, much footage but managed to make sense of even Renaldo and Clara.
I was drawn to this book after watching Pennebacker's pioneering 1960s film "Don't Look Back" but the author tied that work into the long meandering film journey that Dylan would eventually undertake. This is a fascinating and worthwhile book for film studies students and for those studying popular culture in general. The book continues the work started in the author's first Dylan study. This one is an even better read!

Lee traces Dylan's celluloid obsession from teenage adulation of James Dean through groundbreaking documentaries like Don't Look Back and his enigmatic appearance in Peckinpah's Pat Garratt and Billy The Kid, on to Dylan's surreal dramatic directorial debut, Renaldo and Clara, and his starring role in mainstream Hollywood vehicle, Hearts of Fire. Lee also analyses Dylan's major TV and video appearances.
