A concert film-group portrait that captures as well as any other music movie the natural, untethered essence of live rock."-- John Anderson, LOS ANGELES TIMESThe concert film "Year of The Horse" from the 1996 tour, directed by Jim Jarmusch, is certainly a worthy successor to the classic "Rust Never Sleeps" with the addition of interviews and behind the scenes footage along with the raging, stomping, raw Crazy Horse style. Featuring a several epic jams including "Slip Away" and "Big Time" which clock in over 15 miutes each, the live material reveals the magic nature of what happens onstage in the "huddle".In an interview with Crazy Horse and Neil Young:Neil Young: I love that movie and I think it is a perfect add-on for the "Year of The Horse" record.You can really feel the personal view of a film maker, and above all the movieis about the band. It's more than a simple story, it's an impression, asuccession of feelings. I had the idea of doing this movie - I like this kind ofstuff and I like to have a camera with me, but Jim made it possible.Poncho: I always thought that that the story of Crazy Horse was less interesting thanhis music. It's certainly the more successful movie on Neil Young and Crazy Horse, but for me,this film is just touching on this topic. With all due respect to Jim and hiswork, I think that the first song in the movie shows more than what you can seein the following hour. So I liked this short movie, but I wouldn't like peopleto stick to this cinematographic view. It happened so many things in that band,that no one, as a movie maker, will be able to relate."In an interview with film director Jim Jarmusch on making the "Year of the Horse":"Neil's incredible," recalls Jarmusch. "I remember we didn't want to editdown any of the songs in the movie without Neil's help, because it's hismusic. "So he came to New York to help cut, because the songs were all, like,14 minutes long. We showed him the Like A Hurricane number, whichright in the middle of the song cuts from him now to him 20 years ago. "Neil jumps out of his seat. I thought, 'He's going to say something about how different he looks.' Instead, he says, 'Look at Old Black!' which is the name of his guitar. 'She looks so new and shiny! She was so young back then.' "We were laughing so hard, but he was deadly serious. He wasn't self-conscious about his own image changing, just 'Look at Old Black. I haven't taken good care of her.'" In an interview with Crazy Horse's Manuel Francisco (Poncho) Sampedro:"So what we've got," he says, aiming his RayBans right at the camera andfolding a couple of massive forearms over his Jimi Hendrix T-shirt, "is someartsy-fartsy New York director gonna ask a bunch of stupid questions andpretend like you're explaining what's been a 30-year relationship."Year of The Horse Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
