Starring: Bob Dylan, Mary Elizabeth Bridges,
Michael Shannon, Tim Drummond
in 1979, Dylan declared to the world that he had become
a born-again Christian. his fans were baffled and not for
the first time. he toured relentlessly, performing only
songs that expressed his Christian message. one of the
gigs was filmed but never shown. forty years later, the
film was brought out of the vaults. there was a
suggestion that it might merit a documentary. Dylan
objected and recommended the commissioning of
sermons to be preached between the songs instead.
new york writer, luc sante was commissioned to
compose them; oscar nominated michael shannon was
cast as the preacher and Jennifer leBeau was invited to
direct. the result is a gospel service - Dylan style. once
again, he’s come up with something that isn’t like
anything else; but Dylan just isn’t like anyone else.
