本片是美国摇滚乐队“THE BAND"在三藩市作告别演出音乐会的纪录片。 片中的大腕实在太多了。 马丁.史高塞斯的导演手法出色,在把握节奏、色彩运用方面掌握得非常有尺度;鲍里斯.李文的摄影技术也是炉火纯青,使得本片成为摇滚乐纪录片的代表作之一。Thanksgiving, 1976, San Francisco's Winterland: the Band performs its last concert after 16 years on the road. Some numbers they do alone, some songs include guest artists from Ronnie Hawkins (their first boss, when they were the Hawks) to Bob Dylan (their last, when as his backup and as a solo group, they came into their own). Scorsese's camera explores the interactions onstage in the making of music. Offstage, he interviews the Band's five members, focusing on the nature of life on the road. The friendships, the harmonies, the hijinks, and the wear and tear add up to a last waltz.
