 One is certainly struck by the technical amateurism of the film.

 What remains is only a sort of sonic and filmic graffiti that confusedly testifies historical moments in the career of Robert Zimmerman.

Dylan's direction led to tension with original filmmaker Pennebaker and the film’s rejection by ABC. Despite its flaws, it captures rare historical moments with Dylan and The Band. The film remains more a fragmentary testimony than a polished documentary. Dylan learned from this experience for future film work. Watch 'Eat the Document' on YouTube to witness a raw piece of rock history and Dylan’s ambitious but flawed directorial debut.
