Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dylan filmed his own 'interviews' in 2000 wearing a wig and weird lighting, essentially directing his own myth. Scorsese knew and used it anyway.
The title comes from Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone' — a song literally about being lost, which is either perfect or painfully ironic for a documentary.
