Renaldo And Clara

Dylan in all his pretentiousness made this overly long concert film of his 1975/76 Rolling Thunder Revue. Between numbers he tried to make some philosophical points by having himself, his wife, Sara, Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, and other figures of the once-popular counterculture perform some improvisational pieces. Dylan doesn't even play himself, but leaves that honor to Hawkins. Dylan, supposedly in an attempt at humility, plays someone named Renaldo, an intentionally ambiguous character. It all looks pretty silly. The concert footage is all right, but the in-between stuff just has to go. Dylan later cut the film down to 122 minutes, leaving mostly concert footag...
