New Martin Scorsese film showcases a lighter side of Bob Dylan:
The new, experimental quasi-documentary film, “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese,” that premieres this week on Netflix is -- to quote the Kris Kristofferson song -- a “walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction” -- much like the artist himself.
The “Rolling Thunder” tour film also unearths bracing new renditions of “Isis,” “One More Cup of Coffee,” “Romance in Durango,” “Simple Twist of Fate,” “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and others. Dylan’s most notable recent cameos in the mainstream press -- his cantankerous 2004 “60 Minutes” interview with Ed Bradley; his exquisitely slow response two years ago to being named rock’s lone Nobel laureate -- have left the legitimate impression among most Americans of a stern, rather humorless elder statesmen.
The film captures this much-written-about but seldom seen period in his career when the 34-year-old artist was brimming with energy, full of some of the freshest and most original material he’d ever produced, and surrounded by a small galaxy of friends, colleagues, old girlfriends, cartoonish rock reporters, fictional directors and other thoroughly colorful oddballs.
"Van Dorp was an unusual guy," Dylan claims in a new interview."He was the one of those kind of people who kind of just needs an enemy, and he was trying to make enemies where there weren't any.""He would eat two or three meals that really were for somebody else. So he ate more than he was supposed to, and I think he stuck his nose in places he should not have been. He was also a very paranoid person, and was claiming that his room was bugged.
No one was more responsible at the start of Dylan career for introducing the young folkie to a broader mainstream audience that Baez, who took him on her national 1963 tour. “Everything is forgiven whenever I see Bob sing,” Baez explains in a new interview in the film. “The charisma he has -- I’ve never seen before or since.”“Joan Baez and I could play together in our sleep,” he says in a new interview for the film. “As a matter of fact, a lot of times when I was sleeping, I would hear her voice.
