Dont Look Back is a film that covers Bob Dylan’s 1965 concert tour of the United Kingdom, bringing back to mind the crazy sixtees. According to film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum D.A. Pennebaker’s documentary became a landmark in both film and rock history, “evoking the ’60s like few other documents”. The film features Joan Baez, Donovan and Alan Price (who had just left The Animals), Marianne Faithfull, John Mayall, Ginger Baker, and Allen Ginsberg may also be glimpsed in the background. But most of all it shows a young Dylan: confident if not arrogant, confrontational and contrary, but also charismatic and charming.
