I know that dylan’s archivist/manager interviewed bob for no direction home. That might be the case for the rolling thunder doc as well.

one year passes...

What he says is sort of hokey, and I hate crying in documentaries--Ginsberg stops just short--but one of the most moving things I can think of in any music documentary is his first appearance in No Direction Home, where he describes hearing "Hard Rain" for the first time.

This may be the greatest thread that I have never seen before.
For anyone curious about the original Renaldo and Clara, here's a pretty good detailed (but not too lengthy)description:

Some of the best bits in I'm Not There were inspired by R and C, esp. David Cross as Ginsberg and omg Cate Blanchett---BD said she should have played him in Masked and Anonymous at least)

Added some more from 2015, about "Hurricane," the way its writing etc. came across in the 70s and later, also how it comes across in R and C, and the amazing scene, if you can call it that, in which black citizens on the street get into a conversation about Ruben Carter, people who don't necessarily know each other, but they hear and respond. Reminds me a bit of the interviews after the concert in Don't Look Back, kids overhearing other kids being interviewed re Mr. D. (Also tried to improve the look of the whole thing as much as possible w that ancient template.)
