A Complete Unknown
—The Film That Captures Dylan’s Soul
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. A Complete Unknown masterfully portrays Bob Dylan’s early years, with Timothée Chalamet delivering an uncanny performance as the folk legend.
The film captures Dylan’s interactions with influential musicians like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Joan Baez, illustrating how these relationships shaped his evolution from an aspiring artist to a cultural icon.
A pivotal moment in the movie is Dylan's controversial electric performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, where he performed alongside guitarist Mike Bloomfield, organist Al Kooper, bassist Jerome Arnold, pianist Barry Goldberg, and drummer Sam Lay.
Chalamet’s authentic musical performances and James Mangold’s immersive direction bring the 1960s music scene to life. A Complete Unknown is a must-watch for Dylan fans and music lovers alike.
I've always been a fan of Dylan, seeing him more as a poet or modern-day philosopher than just a musician. After watching the movie, I put together a collection of his full albums from his 1962 debut through 1976. Now, it's time to sit back, listen, and take it all in...
