Best independent documentary
about Bob Dylan
Both Ends of the Rainbow
Bob Dylan 1978 – 1989
CHROME DREAMS
 
By the end of 1978 most music
fans – whether dedicated worshippers, casual listeners or
outright dissenters, knew that Bob Dylan was nothing if not
unpredictable. But nobody could have guessed what was coming
next.
Dylan’s adherence to Christian
fundamentalism – and the three albums he released and shows
he performed in its wake - assisted greatly in making the
1980s his most controversial decade. Loved by some, detested
by others, Bob both lost and gained fans via this change of
faith and the single minded beliefs he now appeared to
behold. But by 1984 his views had softened somewhat and
during the rest of the decade he largely released albums and
performed gigs of mixed quality, but generally featuring
standout tracks – many now revered as Dylan classics -
amongst the less inspired cuts.
But despite it all, this
period of Dylan’s life and career is one of the most
controversial, fascinating and misunderstood of all. This
film reviews the years from late-1978 to the release of
1989’s Oh Mercy – an album that was seen by many as a
huge return to form
With the aid of rare Dylan
footage, live and studio versions of the most pivotal songs,
exclusive interviews with his closest allies from that time,
contributions from Dylan experts, biographers and other
commentators and many other features, this film provides the
most detailed document of the 1980s according to Bob Dylan,
ever made.
