Universally hailed as one of “the best concert films ever made,” director Martin Scorsese’s THE LAST WALTZ chronicles the final, farewell performance of legendary Canadian rockers The Band on November 25, 1976 (American Thanksgiving).

A musical delight that is as fresh today as it was upon its release, the film features The Band’s members (including Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, and Rick Danko) as well as over a dozen special guests like Bob Dylan, Paul Butterfield, Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, Neil Diamond, Bobby Charles, The Staple Singers, and Eric Clapton.

"Simply one of the best rock docs ever, born of equal parts thunder and fatigue." (Toronto Star)

"It's arguably the most beautiful of rock movies, while the musical highlights - 'The Weight' with the Staples Singers, Van Morrison's firebolt 'Caravan', every Levon Helm vocal - still astound." (Time Out)

"This 1978 labour of love, one of the most immaculately filmed rock concerts, preserves for posterity the final appearance of the Band, the great group led by Robbie Robertson that had been on the road (often with Bob Dylan) for 16 years." (Observer)
