Bob Dylan World Tours 1966-1974
Through The Camera Of Barry
Feinstein
Amateurish and sycophantic documentary by Bob Dylan wanna-be Joel
Gilbert runs a hopscotch pattern across Dylan's early electric period by
focusing on photographer Barry Feinstein's black and white photographs. A
noticeable lack of Bob Dylan's music suffocates the doc as Bob Dylan
tribute-band-leader Gilbert takes the audience on his personal journey to
uninvited visits to places like the "Big Pink" house where Dylan lived and
recorded. He has a brief meeting with a standoffish D.A. Pennebaker, a
cloistered interview with rock journalist Al Aronowitz and an extended chat with
Dylan stalker and self-proclaimed "Dylanologist" A.J. Weberman before returning
to his documentary's proposed purpose of drooling over photos that tell less
about their subject than his music. Special features include photo gallery
section and outtake interviews with Bruce Langhorne and Izzy Young. Aspect ratio
and sound reproduction type are not listed. (Movie - One Star, DVD
Features - Zero Stars) Not Rated 120 mins. (Music Video
