Full Plot Details

This epic is a mass amalgamation of three separate film-types that is, contrary to popular opinion, coherent and a unified whole. Bob Dylan is shown in concert, often masked, during the Rolling Thunder Revue. The film also features documentary footage, including Ruben "Hurricane" Carter's struggle against the forces that have imprisoned him. The third element is fictional "role-playing" footage with Bob Dylan in the guise of guitar-strumming Renaldo and his wife Sara as his companion Clara. Ronnie Hawkins takes on the role of Bob Dylan in these sequences. The film includes footage of a visit to the grave of Jack Kerouac, an Allen Ginsberg poetry reading and various friends and acquaintances, namely David Blue (playing pinball by a swimming pool), discussing experiences on the road.

Movie Reviews

Senses of Cinema - 4/10 by David SterrittA metonymic sprawl characterizes Renaldo & Clara.
New York Times - 0/10 by Janet MaslinThe film contains more than its share of dead weight, but it is seldom genuinely dull.
User Review - 10/10 by Rick .Has the distinction of being one of the worst films ever made, but the performances of Dylan and The Rolling Thunder Revue merit the 5 star rating.
User Review - 8/10 by Gary HTo sit through this film you need to be a Bob Dylan film. If you are then it's worth the viewing otherwise it'll be confusing and boring. Watch for the rose being passed to the next person who is going to speak.
User Review - 4/10 by Colton MAt a whopping four hours in length, the main issue with Bob Dylan's directorial debut, "Renaldo and Clara" is that Dylan simply throws far too much into the cooking pot and doesn't correctly balance any of it. This is a messy compilation of concert footage, interviews, and instances of melodramatic fiction that all abruptly interrupt one another instead of smoothly transitioning into each other, and just drag on and on without a sense of purpose or accomplishment. It's not that "Renaldo and Clara" doesn't really seem to know what it wants to be, it's really just that Dylan was clearly afraid of straying too far from a project that didn't mostly concern his music for the sake of his audience's interest, but as a result, he ended up becoming far too self-indulgent with this glacial cure for insomnia of a film instead in the process.
