The beloved 1967 documentary Don’t Look Back is widely regarded as one of the greatest music documentaries of all time, chronicling Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour of England.
Melbourne’s Thornbury Picture House, located on High Street in Thornbury, is dusting off the proverbial cobwebs to screen the film this coming Saturday – to celebrate sir Bobs-a-lot’s return to Australian shores. Dylan has just commenced his most recent tour of Australia.
Don’t Look Back will screen at the independent, 57 seat cinema on Saturday August 11 at 4pm.
The Thornbury Picture House website honours the film as “one of the finest music documentaries ever made,” and “a window into the spirit of the 60’s and of the poet-musicians who defined it.”
The critics tend to agree. Legendary American film reviewer Roger Ebert described Don’t Look Back as the film that “invented the rock documentary.”
