One of the rare rock films that produces the effect of a live concert: After each number, the audience erupts into applause.

Is "The Last Waltz" the greatest rock movie of all time? It makes its case persuasively in a restoration overseen by director Martin Scorsese and producer Robbie Robertson that's been released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the concert it made famous.
To see the film in this meticulously restored and remixed version is like watching it for the first time, so clear is the sound, so vivid the sights.
Scorsese's rockudrama withstands big-screen scrutiny some 24 years after its initial release.
Despite Scorsese's efforts, there just isn't much to look at, and the film plays less like a movie than an illustrated record album.
Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz proves Andrew's point by gathering so much talent into one theater that the stage buckles and the subject drops out of sight.
