No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005) is a documentary by Martin Scorsese that follows the life of iconic musician Bob Dylan and his significant influence on American popular music and culture in the 20th century. The film specifically delves into the years between Dylan’s arrival in New York in January 1961 and his temporary withdrawal from touring after a motorcycle accident in July 1966. During this time, Dylan experienced a meteoric rise as a folk singer and songwriter, sparking a transformative movement in both cultural and musical realms, ultimately leading to debate over his transition to rock music.
The film premiered on television in the United States and the United Kingdom in September 2005, first as part of American Masters on PBS and then as part of Arena on BBC Two. It was also released on DVD and accompanied by a soundtrack album (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home: The Soundtrack) that same month. The project was initiated in 1995 by Dylan’s manager, Jeff Rosen, who conducted interviews with various people from Dylan’s life. Unfortunately, some of those interviewed, such as poet Allen Ginsberg and folk musician Dave Van Ronk, passed away before the film’s completion. Dylan’s former girlfriend Suze Rotolo also participated in an interview and later expressed her satisfaction with the end result to Rolling Stone magazine.
