这部纪录片是对鲍勃迪伦1965年英国巡演的忠实记录,导演彭内贝克用影像清晰的说明那时的鲍勃迪伦与披头士是多么的不同。与同时期的《苦难日之夜》相比,《别回头》更直接,深刻,对自己的拍摄对象也没有造星般的刻意吹捧,甚至还毫不掩饰的可以嘲讽,但是,再冷静的镜头都无法掩盖年轻迪伦的灿烂光芒,同现在的老迪伦相比,年轻的他无与伦比的傲慢,机智,激情洋溢,而其中一段以垮掉派代表艾伦金斯堡为背景的开场更是弥足珍贵。Portrait of the artist as a young man. In spring, 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubador, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker's camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It's the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric, a transition that not all fans, including Baez, applaud. From the opening sequence of Dylan holding up words to the soundtrack's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Dylan is playful and enigmatic.
