Being a Criterion product I fear, for those of us in the UK, the Blu-Ray will be Zone A only.

  

Description
Bob Dylan is captured on-screen as he never would be again in this groundbreaking film from D. A. Pennebaker. The legendary documentarian finds Dylan in London during his 1965 tour, which would be his last as an acoustic artist and marked a turning point in his career. In this wildly entertaining vision of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists thrust into the spotlight, Dylan is surrounded by teen fans; gets into heated philosophical jousts with journalists; and kicks back with fellow musicians Joan Baez, Donovan, and Alan Price. Featuring some of Dylan’s most famous songs, including “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” and “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” Dont Look Back is a radically conceived and shot portrait of an American icon that has influenced decades of vérité behind-the-scenes documentaries.

Bump: Pre-order details for the American release of the new DVD and Blu-ray are now in the first post.

I'm not sure whether this tops the 2007 Docurama set, which also included a fairly hefty copy of the paperback published upon original release of the documentary and a little flip-book of the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" sequence.

Don't get me wrong--Criterion is far and away my favorite DVD label, but unless this contains any actual previously unreleased Dylan music, I'm not sure I see the point.

This title does lend credence to the theory that the next "Bootleg Series" release will be released by the end of the year and center on 1965-66, and not "Blood On The Tracks".

When Criterion has their 50% sale at EOY this will be on the list.
