Breaking Baz: ‘A Complete Unknown’ Writer-Director James Mangold Reveals His Process With Timothée Chalamet & What Dylan Himself Thinks Of It All


'A Complete Unknown' Co-writer and director James Mangold reveals what Dylan thought of it all & the filmmaking process with Timothée Chalamet

The filmmaker has been scooting around town like a rolling stone for London screenings of Searchlight Pictures’ scorchingly realized A Complete Unknown, starring a magnificent Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, circa the early 1960s when the boy from the north country was in the embryonic stage of his career. We’re able to witness the birth of a phenomenally great artist as he locates the harmonies to pair with his poetic lyrics, and in so doing divorcing himself from the constraints of the high church of folk music; severing links to the likes of Pete Seeger [an extraordinary Edward Norton], and, to a certain extent, Joan Baez [beautifully captured by Monica Barbaro]. L-R: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, James Mangold, Harrison Ford, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Boyd Holbrook and Mads Mikkelson at the Cannes premiere of ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images
