Cert U
THE LAST WALTZ (USA, 1978, 117mins, Cert U) Since its release 45 years ago, Martin Scorsese’s documentary recording The Band’s 1976 farewell concert has been widely imitated but never bettered. Consummately stylish but with dignity and restraint, the film celebrates The Band’s 16 years on the road with a plethora of invited guests from Dr John to Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan to Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell to Emmylou Harris and many other famous names in the pantheon of country rock.
