Info

Indie director Jim Jarmusch lenses a low-tech tribute to protean rocker Neil Young and his long-standing band, Crazy Horse. Stitched together from archival material shot in 1976 and 1986 along with candid scenes of Young and the band kicking back between shows, this rockumentary is as ragged as it is direct.

Year of the Horse Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Steve Faragher Felt obliged to write a review as none of the reviews posted so far seem to have been from people who saw this at the cinema. I was lucky enough to catch this in 97 at a film festival and the memory of it still lingers. The talking heads interviews are unmemorable, but the live concert footage is incredible. It's some of the rawest, most powerful and yet subtly controlled rock music to have ever been captured. I's also nice to see some essentially middle-aged guys rock out big time. It's hypnotic and savage, and every time Neil hits his custom big red box and kicks into a solo you can feel the passion oozing from the man. If you want something polished you'd be better of with some Pet Shop Boy's videos, but if you're after authentic blood, sweat and tears take a chance on this. And for god's sake either turn it up very loud or better still put some cans on and get the full effect.
lastliberal Jim Jarmusch (Broken Flowers, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai) directed this documentary (his only one) of Neil Young and Crazy Horse's 1996 concert tour.Jarmusch's grainy, home-movie style make this a very interesting film as we look into the background of the band.Ten songs including "F*ckin' up", "Slips Away", and "Tonight's the Night". The only complaint I had about the music was Neil Young's guitar solos. They seemed to go on forever.This movie is really for Neil Young fans. 20+ years of music history in a couple of hours.
TL27 Ive seen about 3 other documentaries on Neil Young,but this one is the most interesting.Not just a typical concert film....but an overview of Crazy Horse.Some of the concert footage was a little long though.I am a big Neil Young fan and if you are also,you will like this movie.The best Crazy Horse movie is still Rust Never Sleeps ,though.
kerat Jarmusch has again succeeded in crafting a cinematic document that stands alone - even if it has been classified as belonging to a limited genre: the rock'n'roll documentary. Using different film formats and videotape, the director creates the impression of an uneven view - at times grungy, at times crystal sharp - that parallels the songwriting of the film's subject. Year of the Horse is a personal, caustic, poignant, raucous, intimate, joyous and always honest portrayal of a band and its leader. It is about survival, it is about being human, and it is about rock and roll. This film is, admittedly, not for everyone; an acceptance of Niel Young's unique approach to self-expression is a prerequisite... so is an acceptance of Jim Jarmusch's non-conformist approach to filmmaking.
