Win Bob Dylan DVDs
In an event that has brought together Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan is the first time Dylan has participated in an exclusive film biography. This DVD covers his explosive arrival on the downtown New York City scene in 1961 through to his motorcycle crash that nearly killed him in 1966.
Private, almost reclusive and disdainful of customary forms of publicity, Dylan has now agreed to make an appearance in his own story. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the intimate and incomparable film includes an archive of exclusive footage from childhood, from the road and from backstage, as well as unreleased interviews conducted over the past 15 years with other seminal figures from those times - some of whom, like Allen Ginsberg, are long dead.
Dylan talks openly and extensively about this critical period in his career, detailing the journey from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to Greenwich Village, New York, where he became the centre of a musical and cultural upheaval, the effects of which are still felt today.
For the first time, The Bob Dylan Archives has made available rare treasures from its film, tape and stills collection, including footage from Murray Lerner’s film Festival, previously unreleased outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker’s famed 1967 documentary Don’t Look Back and interviews with Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Maria Muldaur, and many others. In anticipation of the film, Dylan’s fans from around the world also contributed footage from their own collections.
No Direction Home is released via Paramount Home Entertainment from Monday October 3, 2005
