Back in January, Netflix revealed that they are working on a Bob Dylan documentary which will be directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese.
Now, the streaming service giant announced that the documentary, titled Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, will be available on their platform on June 12.
Besides being available on Netflix, the documentary will also get a limited release in theaters around the world starting June 11. According to Variety, 20 cities will host the projections for the film including London, Paris, Nashville, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Sydney, and New York.
Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese will be centered on Bob Dylan’s 1975 tour Rolling Thunder Revue which saw him taking a trip across the United States alongside his close friend Roger McGuinn, Joan Baez, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Bob Neuwirth and Allen Ginsberg. The tour has gained a cult status since and is considered to contain some of Dylan’s best live performances.
Netflix also shared synopsis and a poster for the documentary as well.
“Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year. Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream, Rolling Thunder is a one of a kind experience, from master filmmaker Martin Scorsese.”
