Oh yes, this is the most fun you could have if you're a Dylan fan. It didn't really feel like a Scocese film to me, but that's neither here nor there- the music alone makes this a treat. The trip through Dylans life, and his funny and surprisingly humble and accurate thoughts on all he's been through make it the most compelling, less 'showy' documentary on a famous musician ever made.
The only thing I missed was that I didn't get any notion of what the man is like in private. Drugs? Marriage? Relationships? All hinted at, none explored or discussed.
Of course I realize I'm complaining about not knowing more about Bob Dylan, famous for keeping himself to himself . The myth he's created makes me want to know more about him- which keeps his myth alive! Wonderful. Watch it and then put on the albums, you'll have a great time.
