Joan Baez: I An A Noise - 2023 - 6/10

Perplexing documentary of the legendary folk singer will be for dedicated and knowledgeable audiences.
Mind you, it touches the bases, if briefly. Childhood, early fame, Dylan, marriage, endless touring.
The whole folkie scene of the 60’s? What was that?
Rolling Thunder? Mentioned, unexplained. Renaldo And Clara, what’s that?
Over and over, the focus is of Baez as victim, as insecure, as neurotic.
Much is given to her hypnosis therapy sessions and the unearthing of buried memories.
Even she admits many of those may be false memories, which diminishes the factuality of the doc.
Unless you are a snoopy voyeur, stick with her Wiki page. This is a missed opportunity.
