More than just one of the greatest concert fiIms ever made, The Last WaItz is an at once ecstatic and elegiac summation of a vitaI era in American rock music. lnvited to document the farewelI performance of the legendary group the Band at San Francisco’s WinterIand BaIlroom 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, including Bob DyIan, Joni MitcheII, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and NeiI Young—lives on as an aImost religious expression of the transcendent possibilities of rock and rolI.
