Don't Look Back

This documentary is a faithful record of Bob Dylan's 1965 British tour. Director Pennebaker uses images to clearly illustrate how different Bob Dylan was from the Beatles at that time. Compared with "Bad Day" of the same period, "Don't Look Back" is more direct and profound. It does not deliberately flatter its subjects like making stars, and can even mock its subjects unabashedly. However, no matter how calm the camera is, it can't cover up the brilliant light of young Dylan. Compared with the current old Dylan, the young man is unparalleled in arrogance, wit, and passion, and one of the opening scenes with Beat representative Allen Ginsberg as the background is even more precious.
