I posted about this in July. It's being shown on PBS' "American Masters" in two parts starting tonight at 9 Eastern. Amazon is still showing the trailer. The Washington Post has a good article about it:
"No Direction Home" represents a great musical-cinematic summit, as no less than the great Martin Scorsese directs -- with superb control and judgment -- what surely qualifies as the definitive documentary about Bob Dylan. "No Direction Home" will be broadcast in two parts tonight and tomorrow night on PBS's "American Masters" series, and in the bargain viewers get two masters -- one a hugely influential singer and songwriter with a canny, thoroughly American knack for self-invention and the other a filmmaker with a thumb (to recycle an encomium Dylan has dodged throughout his career) firmly on the pulse of his generation.

I had to look up encomium. Turns out it's about the same as a panegyric.=8^b
