简介:Chock full of wondrous musical segments (not all of them on the concert stage) and some choice bits of post-Beat tomfoolery, rendered by a cast of musicians, actors and veteran exhibitionists rapidly approaching their 'Sell by' date, Renaldo & Clara is a four-hour expedition into the deepest recesses of Bob Dylan's vanity; a film projectile of wildly uncertain velocity and direction... concert doco, avant-garde aspirant, Theater of Ennui also-ran, and a big ol' Narcissus pool everyone can splash around in; it is all of these things... that, despite the best efforts of its director, was written off as a catastrophe by American critics upon its highly limited release in 1978.
