Netflix has officially unveiled the upcoming release of *Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese*, a powerful and immersive music documentary that delves deep into one of the most enigmatic chapters of Bob Dylan’s storied career. Slated for release later this year, the film offers fans and newcomers alike an unprecedented glimpse into Dylan’s legendary 1975–76 Rolling Thunder Revue tour.

 

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the documentary masterfully blends restored archival footage, rare concert performances, and candid interviews to bring to life the chaotic brilliance and cultural impact of the tour. The film features exclusive commentary from Dylan himself — a rare treat, given his long-standing reluctance to participate in traditional documentaries.

 

The Rolling Thunder Revue was more than just a tour. It was a traveling rock circus, an experimental fusion of music, theater, and political commentary. With a rotating cast that included Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Roger McGuinn, and Allen Ginsberg, the tour defied conventional norms and captured the restless spirit of 1970s America.

 

Scorsese, who previously collaborated with Dylan on *No Direction Home*, brings his signature cinematic style to the project, blending myth and reality in a way that mirrors Dylan’s own elusive persona. The film explores not just the music, but the mood of an era — a time of reinvention, rebellion, and artistic freedom.

 

“Dylan’s never been about just the music,” Scorsese said. “He’s always been about the moment — and this film captures that moment like nothing else.”

 

*Bob Dylan: Rolling Thunder Revue* will premiere globally on Netflix in November 2025, accompanied by a limited theatrical release and a deluxe soundtrack collection featuring remastered live performances from the tour.
