D.A. Pennebaker’s Don't Look Back

Don't Look Back is D.

A. Pennebaker’s documentary portrait of Bob Dylan during his 1965 British tour. Its observational filmmaking places viewers alongside Dylan in performance and in the situations surrounding the tour, making the film a record of both a particular moment in his career and the experience of watching an artist take shape as a public figure. Songs including “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” “The Times They Are a-Changin’” and “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” help connect the film’s portrait to Dylan’s music of the period.
