This is a 4K remaster, but er, I’m sorting comics while “watching this” so I’m really enjoying the K-ness.
Very rock n roll.
Neil!
This guy is a good singer, too.
Joni!
Somebody!
I liked it! Even if I didn’t really “watch it” watch it.
But I’ve seen this before — it was among one of the first handful of movies I saw in the movie theatre. I’d seen all the Beatles movies, so I guess this was the logical next thing for my elder siblings to take me out to. I was ten, I guess?
I don’t really remember much from watching that time around, other than that it was… kinda magical? And re-watching this now, I’m thinking perhaps this played a part in me becoming really into going to live shows? Because this is so romantic in its way, and there’s no talking heads interrupting the performances. We get songs in full, and then perhaps somebody talks for a couple minutes, max.
It’s 90% live performance, and I really like that.
So I’m rating this on both almost forgotten nostalgia and just how you should film live shows:
The Last Waltz . Martin Scorsese. 1978. ⚅
