No Direction Home: Bob DylanEp2

Part two covers the period of Bob Dylan's life when, at 23, he is already a newsworthy phenomenon. Finding a new musical vocabulary to capture the complexity of a seismic cultural shift, Dylan decides to add electricity to his music and is labelled a sell-out. Director Martin Scorsese delicately balances Dylan's internal world with signpost images from the external world. Dylan's music is the backdrop as the war in Vietnam escalates, the free speech movement in Berkeley signals a new youth movement, and the nightly news brings home images people would never have dreamed of. Scorsese explores Dylan's personal world of constant touring and press conferences, while taking viewers on an emotional, musical and intellectual journey.
