It took a lot of money to keep her quiet...

It also pretty much killed the movie very quickly, I think.

By February 1978 the "Renaldo and Clara" film seemed to be completely
unknown in big cities such as Atlanta, where my wife Kathy, Paul D.
Wilson and I spent an evening back then trying to find a theater showing
it.

It wasn't until around 1988-89 until I found a bootleg copy on VHS.

Spectacular film, though.

Joan Baez and Bob made a fool of Sara in Renaldo and Clara. She was
having a breakdown as a result, and they didn't care. I thought that was heartless...

I know the film did seem to blend reality and fiction to a possibility uncomfortable level.

My VHS bootleg tape was the entire four hour film, but j always wanted
to see the later two hour edit Dylan cut after Sara apparently
complained.

Nice! What does Clay do?

I wasn't able to see the film again yet, but Clay is in one of the crowd scenes, there's an action playing an Allen Ginsberg look alike in there
as well for a quick second, in the crowd.

The freezer frame function will come in handy with this movie.

As for a sequel, John Lennon could appear:

Bob Dylan put it well, no actor can catch that thin wild mercury he
possesses:

"Only A Pawn In Their Game";

Can you imagine getting all hyped up, going to the movie theater, only
to find that you are watching a goy version of Bob Dylan? I shudder...

Definitely true that so many details were skipped or blurred in the
film.

Now that it's coming out on DVD soon I look forward to getting in some
deeper viewing.

Or you may come to see it as a whitewash...with a French twist...

Rachel claimed that Bob raped and tortured her, and Donkey

He's a fool.
