Don't Look Back is a feature-length documentary directed by D.A. Pennebaker (The War Room). It chronicles the days and nights of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan while on a 1965 concert tour of England.

Shot in black and white, deliberately paced, and exhibiting a freeform style, Don't Look Back has endured because of Pennebaker's engrossing "Direct Cinema" documentary style and because of its fascinating subject. While it does show Dylan performing on stage, the documentary is not a "concert film" in the vein of Woodstock, but it captures the enigma of Dylan — already considered the musical "voice of his generation" — as eloquent but immature, guileless but surprisingly savvy, in short, as flawed as the average man.

Don't Look Back was added to the National Film Registry in 1998.
