Woodstock (1970)



The film chronicle of the legendary 1969 music festival as director's cut.

Needless to say it's a remarkable document to an even more remarkable event, I sort of grew up with the soundtrack. However, whether this director's cut edition is superior to the initial theatrical version is beyond me. Some music was added, but other performances were deleted...

On renewed viewing. it's still amazing how this documentary accurately captures the feel and the sound of this event.

Halliwell***: "A definitive moment of the 60s, with the mood and music brilliantly captured on film..."

Maltin****: "...brilliantly captures unique communal experience of outdoor rock festival, along with great performances which highlighted unusual weekend bash."
