Title: Grungy, Grainy, Gritty, and Great
Product review: I ordered the DVD of "Year of The Horse" after first seeing it (in glorious mono) recently on the Independent Film Channel. I was awestruck by the juxtaposition of recent and archival footage, as well as the intense, lyrical quality of the band's music on such tracks as "She Slipped Away" (my personal favorite).I've been a Young / Crazy Horse fan for more than twenty years, and this film gave me new insight into the band, both as individuals and as artists.Jarmusch's use of grainy super 8 film for most of the modern footage perfectly complements the raw, edgy quality of the band's music. The Dolby 5.1 soundtrack is first-class. Why four stars and not five? I wish the film were longer, with more concert footage!
