Title: The Rolling Thunder Review(Netflix)
Review: If you are of a certain age, this is must see film on Netflix. Long in the vault, it is a wide ranging and quite wacked out portrayal of Dylan’s 1976 (bicentennial) nationwide barnstorming tour with a group of noted eccentrics. Dylan and Baez are golden in their duets. Scarlet Rivera is luminous with her mystic-gypsy fiddle playing and he effervescent Alan Ginsburg is along as the spiritual mentor. Dylan not only leads the formidable group (including a spaced out Roger McGuinn) but drives the bus…and Scorsese captures it all as only he can. If you are in you advanced years-you’ll want to catch this piece of wonderful Americana.
