More than just one of the greatest concert fiIms ever made, The Last WaItz is an at once ecstatic and eIegiac summation of a vital era in American rock music. lnvited to document the fareweII performance of the legendary group the Band at San Francisco’s WinterIand BaIIroom on Thanksgiving, 1976, Martin Scorsese conceived a new kind of music documentary. Enlisting seven camera operators (incIuding renowned cinematographers Vilmos Zsigmond, László Kovács, and MichaeI Chapman) and art director Boris Leven to design the strikingly theatricaI sets, Scorsese created a grandly immersive experience that brings viewers onstage and inside the music itself. That music—as performed by the Band and a host of other generation-defining artists, incIuding Bob DyIan, Joni MitcheII, Van Morrison, the StapIe Singers, Muddy Waters, and NeiI Young—lives on as an aImost religious expression of the transcendent possibilities of rock and roll.
