Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming documentary, Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, offering a captivating glimpse into Bob Dylan’s legendary 1975 tour. This film, directed by Martin Scorsese, is set to premiere on Netflix and in select theaters on June 12.
The documentary delves into Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue tour, a series of concerts that showcased his musical evolution and featured collaborations with artists like Joan Baez and Allen Ginsberg. Scorsese blends archival footage with contemporary interviews, including Dylan’s first on-camera interview in over a decade, to create a rich tapestry of this iconic period.
In the trailer, Dylan reflects, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Or finding anything. Life is about creating yourself,” encapsulating the film’s exploration of identity and artistry.
Rolling Thunder Revue marks the second collaboration between Dylan and Scorsese, following the acclaimed 2005 documentary No Direction Home. The film’s release coincides with a 14-disc box set, Rolling Thunder Revue: The Live Recordings, offering fans an immersive experience of this transformative era in Dylan’s career.
For those interested in a dramatized portrayal of Dylan’s early years, the biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet and directed by James Mangold, is also available. This film focuses on Dylan’s rise in the 1960s folk scene and his controversial shift to electric music.
With these releases, Netflix continues to provide in-depth looks into the life and legacy of Bob Dylan, offering both documentary and dramatized perspectives for fans and newcomers alike.
