The Last Waltz (1978)


A film account and presentation of the final concert of The Band.

Excellent, nearly exemplary documentation of a musical event involving some of the top artists of the time; it helps that all musicians present themselves in best form on stage.

Halliwell***: "Perhaps the best movie so far of a rock concert, one that also features many of the most influential performers of the era, together with some brief but revealing interviews with the band members."

Maltin***: "Truly wonderful documentary...the whole film is beautifully done."
