Description
Few performances are as legendary or as controversial as Bob Dylan’s 1965 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival. By putting you in the audience for Dy-lan’s Newport performances from 1963 through that pivotal set in 1965, Academy Award-winning director Murray Lerner has crafted a revealing portrait of the young Bob Dylan as he grew progressively darker and more withdrawn, while he and his band took their first steps toward rock and roll. The film features stirring versions of some of his most famous songs, including Only a Pawn in Their Game; Chimes of Freedom; It’s all Over Now, Baby Blue, and legendary duets with Joan Baez. The Other Side of the Mirror captures Dylan’s metamorphosis from folk prodigy to rock’s fiercely confrontational poet who would electrify and inspire an entire nation and become the voice of his generation.
