The Last Waltz
Dir.: Martin Scorsese | Narrative structure: Martin Scorsese, Mardik Martin | Starring: The Band (Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel), Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John et al.
On November 25, 1976, Thanksgiving Day, at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom, the legendary Canadian-American group The Band — one of the most influential rock & roll acts — gave a farewell concert, joined by a dazzling lineup of guest stars. Scorsese captured the event that no one yet realized would become History (It was also the beginning of his friendship and long collaboration with Robbie Robertson.)
Considered by many the greatest music documentary of all time, The Last Waltz not only paved the way for the rockumentary genre, but also determined the evolution of the documentary itself, with its groundbreaking cinematography, aesthetic and style. Emotion, electricity, stunning music and unforgettable on- and off-stage moments… In 2019, it was inducted into the U.S. National Film Registry..
