Hardly the definitive document of Dylan during one of his most creative periods, but Scorsese captures the rambling yet focused, intimate yet expansive nature of this tour, and encapsulates Dylan's trickster qualities within the structure of the film. Concert footage looks and sounds amazing, with long sections of songs allowed to play uninterrupted.
