An intimate look at the Woodstock Music and Art Festival held in Bethel, NY in 1969, from preparation through cleanup, with historic access to insiders, blistering concert footage, and portraits of the concertgoers; negative and positive aspects are shown, from drug use by performers to naked fans sliding in the mud, from the collapse of the fences by the unexpected hordes to the surreal arrival of National Guard helicopters with food and medical assistance for the impromptu city of 500,000.

English There's not much to add to this document. Besides the fact that it has absolutely great editing and multitasking with multiple images at once, it is above all a beautiful record of what the era was like and what its music was like. That music is still amazing and those values... they are still being ignored. Rebellion didn't really help, but we can hope that someday something similar will be achieved again. ()

English Great music, quality weed, a flower in the hair and some space for half a million people, that's all you need to organize the biggest and most memorable music event in history. Speaking for myself, if I had a time machine, I would head to the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival with a bunch of friends right after dealing with Hitler. A unique documentary that for three and a half hours throws you into the loving atmosphere of the flower power and partly introduces you to the legends of the music of that time, which was so beautiful and specific. I don't give it full marks only because the long musical numbers on TV don't have the same effect as live, and in my opinion a bit of trimming would not be a bad thing – though that wouldn’t be the real Woodstock. 85% ()
