How do you make a great film? Bob Dylan might have the answer.
Bob Dylan might be the single most written-about musician in popular culture. While he has long dominated the world of music, Dylan has maintained a special relationship with cinema.
Dylan’s vision as a filmmaker wasn’t remotely as celebrated as his songwriting capabilities, but the medium has always remained a vital part of his artistic career. From his 1972 documentary Eat the Document to his four-hour-long feature film, Renaldo and Clara, Dylan has never been shy about sharing his influences for his work.
That list of influences includes Charlie Chaplin, Nicholas Ray, John Ford, Jean-Luc Godard, and Federico Fellini—all cinematic legacies that moved him to create powerful and unforgettable films.
