Please join us for a Film Night at Raanbaa Restaurant on Wednesday 28 May 2008 at 8.30pm, screening: ‘Bob Dylan – No Direction Home’. Entrance is free and all are welcome!

Spawning both politically charged folk ballads that came to embody the very spirit of the turbulent 1960s (‘The Times They are a-Changin’) and sprawling, stream-of-consciousness litanies that irrevocably changed the face of rock music (‘Like a Rolling Stone’), the years between 1961-1966 were inarguably the most artistically fertile for legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. Director Martin Scorsese who had previously worked with Dylan on the Band’s farewell concert film THE LAST WALTZ (1978) crafts an unprecedented exploration of the musician’s creative process during this crucial five-year period with the historical documentary event NO DIRECTION HOME.

The film is the first ever film biography of the enigmatic, near-reclusive Dylan, who grants Scorsese his first full-length interview in 20 years for a startlingly intimate and endlessly revealing portrait of a true American icon.

A cinematic testament to the life and work of one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century.
