Dont Look Back (1967)

Criterion isn't going to have all the bells & whistles that the Docurama DVD & book set had. I'll be keeping that even after I get the Criterion.

Yeah, me too. For me, it sounds like the Docurama book is going to be a more valuable addition than most (or possibly all) of the new extras on the Criterion. I'm somewhat interested in the Pennebaker short films and the doc on his methods and evolution, but frankly I'd have much preferred some supplemental material that focused more specifically on Dylan himself. I mean, I guess including Eat the Document was a bit too much to hope for, but surely they could have dug up something juicy other than a Patti Smith interview and all that stuff recycled from No Direction Home.

Looks like this will be a digipak?

Based on the Barnes & Noble email that went out, and looking at this case vs. other digipaks & standard cases:

Criterion is making ground to meet their digipak quota for 2015. I prefer more randomness when displaying on the shelf, but nice to see these big sellers (Mulholland, Dylan, Apu) get a little special Criterion treatment.

Yeah, there are full packaging picks over at Criterion Forum... It looks fantastic.

















If you were crazy enough to buy the 18CD Collector's Edition of Dylan's latest "Bootleg Series" release "Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965-1966", which I did, one of the things that came with the Set was a strip of 10 film cells from an Original Release Print of "Don't Look Back" from 1967!

Unfortunately my film cells were all of the side of Donovan's face right after he sang his song and was asking Dylan to play "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". But still, it's cool to have a piece of film history.

Some nice soul was able to send me the 18 disc. I bought the vinyl edition.

As for Dont Look Back, I bought the single disc back in the day and then the two disc box set, which has some physical extras. However, I will be updating to this bluray. Between this and Inside Llewyn Davis next year (That disc features a 1961 documentary about the Washington Square Park protest, which Dylan was at!), I'll have my fill of art house folk singer folklore. I can't wait to see some of the unseen footage here. I don't know what else they'd have after 65 revisited.

Maybe we'll get Eat the Document and Renaldo and Clara in the Criterion someday. They're important in Dylan fandom, and Criterion has gone more obscure in the past.

Has anyone watched theirs yet?
