![]() Non-narrative film can feel like an unscalable mountain, especially the moment we start to think of it as nonnarrative film. Those two films, ostensibly documentaries, include lies, perversions, prevarications, and self reflective artistry. Those two movies are also fairly long, escaping the 90 minute to 2 hour sweet spot of the traditional feature film. Martin Scorsese has made two movies about Bob Dylan, both of them nonnarrative, which also sit very wrong with some people. That is what they call a non-narrative film, which is always kind of ridiculous if you take the term literally or by other uses of the term outside of film, also is going to set wrong with many people. With such a long run time, even if we had the opportunity to screen the film over and over and over again, it would be difficult to retain every plot thread, background details, the interrelation of symbols, situations, scenarios, to keep everything orchestrated in a clear thought. The movie will be out of circulation for a very long time.īecause of its lack of availability, and it’s complicatedness (if not its complexity), Renaldo and Clara is largely – even more largely than with many other movies – in our heads, imagination, and the kind of memory which blurs together perceived events, memories of memories, things we read, stuff we heard about, and projections we bring to the cinema hypothetical. They may complain about the Rubin Carter scenes, about the poor acting by non-actors, they may complain about the scenes involving Native Americans – and they did – simply because there are Native Americans there, and they might get upset that Allen Ginsberg is playing father, that poets exist in a movie, but when you look, when you really look at what they say specifically, the direction that their criticisms move into, all those other complaints, all those other frustrations, all those other upsets or to carry us to a place they are already out which is fucking Bob Dylan.ĭo things that really hold us up, as a collective broader audience, from really grappling with Renaldo and Clara, or that Dylan wants the movie so big, complex, complicated, the musing, that he made a movie big, amusing, and complicated, and that the movies out of circulation and has been for a very long time. If you look at the 1978 reviews and suppositions of Renaldo and Clara, they’re mad at Bob Dylan. ![]() Goose pimple bones of plagiarism and docupoetics. You can watch the concert footage and just zone out on the rest, let it wash over you like cheapie soap opera and small man on the street news footage.īob Dylan is whoever you mistake him to be, and when Kristofferson or the character he plays in the movie is mistaken for Bob Dylan, he is as Dylan as he wants to be. One can follow flowers, colors of flowers the disability of flowers, symbolism of flowers. One thread through can be the need to hustle, whether a genuine or perceived need, and how need whether it is genuine or perceived, is always perceived and genuine. Renaldo and Clara is supposedly, or intended to be, about birth and death coming from the same place (The Death Cunt), identity as a transferable and permeable mask, the mystique and engineered myth of Bob Dylan, our discomforting interest in his private and romantic life, the death penalty, life sentences, public opinion, colonization, genocide, flowers, bullshit, anecdotes, and pinball. Bob Dylan could and was Renaldo for awhile, or pretends to be. Ronnie Hawkins plays Bob Dylan in Renaldo and Clara, and Renaldo and Clara can be anyone. It has never been commercially available since its original to theatrical releases in the 1970s. Renaldo and Clara, originally released in 1978, exists in a form just over four hours long, a truncated concert movie form, as a variety of small vignettes, archived reels, bootleg VHS, private copies, and more private copies. I don’t know that that is true and neither do you. This is in reference to the film directed and written by Bob Dylan, or at least some form of the titular Renaldo. In the movie The Princess Diaries and its sequel, Julie Andrews plays Clarisse Renaldi, only slightly modified from her name in the novel series on which the movies are based, Clarisse Renaldo. – something my software thought I said about Renaldo and Clara By Travis Hedge Coke on Patricia Highsmash
