BOB DYLAN AS FILMMAKER

     "BOB DYLAN AS FILMMAKER, the first book of its kind, opens up exciting new ways to think about the artistry of Bob Dylan. It offers a captivating exploration into movies that, according to Michael, showcase Bob Dylan not just as a subject, but as the primary author. These include EAT THE DOCUMENT―a short, experimental television film shot in 1966 and released in 1972; the sprawling, genre-blurring epic RENALDO & CLARA (1978), both directed by Dylan himself; and the darkly surreal MASKED AND ANONYMOUS (2003), directed by Larry Charles but co-written by and starring Dylan.
    BOB DYLAN AS FILMMAKER explores what these movies reveal about “how it feels” to be Bob Dylan during three defining eras of his career: the revolutionary 1960s, the introspective 1970s, and the enigmatic early 2000s. Just as crucially, they illuminate Dylan’s remarkable instinct for using film not merely as a medium, but as a deeply personal mode of expression."
