What 2005 Bob Dylan documentary did Martin Scorsese direct?

The 2005 Bob Dylan documentary directed by Martin Scorsese is No Direction Home.

The film follows Dylan’s transformation from a young folk singer arriving in New York in January 1961 into a major songwriter and performer at the center of a cultural upheaval. It focuses especially on the years leading to his controversial shift from acoustic folk music to electric rock.

No Direction Home uses archival performances, photographs, recordings, and interviews with Dylan and people who knew him, including Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Allen Ginsberg, and Dave Van Ronk. Dylan gave roughly ten hours of interview material for the project.

A common mix-up is Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, another Scorsese-Dylan documentary. That later film, released in 2019, covers Dylan’s 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour, while No Direction Home concentrates on his rise during the 1960s.
