THE BAND, THE LAST WALTZ

It was supposed to be The Band 's farewell concert and it became the celebration of the seventies. The poster is sumptuous. All those who embody the rock spirit are there: from Clapton to Ringo Starr, from Dylan to Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. And it is a Stones fan and a seasoned filmmaker in terms of musical films who will film this sacred moment: Martin Scorsese. We follow Jérôme and Sophie Soligny in the colorful (and cocaine) backstage of this formidable rockumentary.

This concert is the last page of the great book of the 60s-70s and the legends that inhabit it.
They are there, on stage, in the flesh, even the rarest (Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison), the most legendary (Muddy Waters), the most illustrious (Bob Dylan); Scorcese once again deploys all his genius as a director in the service of music, of this universe that fascinates him. Never has a concert been so well filmed. We enter completely into the intimacy of the stage, we feel the magic that operates. Robbie Robertson is captivating, dazzling, so deeply intelligent. The interview moments with the group are a real treat. To be consumed without moderation!
