In Italy we will be able to see it from January 23rd but of A Complete Unknownfrom the production troubled first due to Covid-19 and then to the actors’ strike in Hollywood, is already said to be very good in the USA. Where critics and audiences appreciate it, rewarding Timothée Chalamet’s great performance as Bob Dylan.
Directed by James Mangold, who said he was corrected on several historical and musical details by Dylan himself, A Complete Unknown shows the first four years of the career of the very young Zimmerman-Dylan from his beginnings as a folk singer-songwriter up to his debut with the band at the Newport Festival, a fact which provoked heated reactions because it was considered too “rock” and disrespectful of the tradition of American songwriting .
They also hit the media Dylan’s statements on the film and how Chalamet interprets itgiven that he has a reputation for being gruff and hard to please: “Timmy is a brilliant actor, I’m sure he will be completely believable in my part. Or in the part of a younger me. Or some other version of me.”
In turn, Chalamet, very much the actor of the moment, replied: “The incredible part about Bob Dylan is that every chapter of his life is interesting. You can make a film about any period of his journey. If they offered me to star in other films about his life, perhaps divided over decades, I would absolutely do it, it would be an incredible opportunity“.
