Neil Young - Journey Through the Past DVD (1972)

Shot in 16mm and blown up to 35 for theatrical distribution, Canadian-born musician Neil Young's first feature film cost some $350,000 and remains a sought-after artifact more than 30 years after its initial release. This documentary-fantasy hybrid combines footage of Young from 1966, when he was with Buffalo Springfield, to 1972 and visual non sequiturs like black-robed horsemen on a beach, a 'grey faced dude' doing card tricks and the dazed every youth who starts out in a newly minted college graduate's cap and gown and ends up shooting drugs by the sea. Interesting primarily as a time capsule, it included performances by Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, Dewey Martin, David Crosby and Graham Nash, and footage of Young living the life of a reluctant pop star. He grins his way through an uncomfortable radio-station appearance where the DJ mistakenly plays a Stills-era Buffalo Springfield song, signs an autograph for a motomouthed teenager ("I already got Ringo's and everybody else's"), talks about his early drug experiences, takes a drive with his girlfriend, actress Carrie Snodgrass and philosophizes in a junkyard.
