Loved ‘A Complete Unknown’? Here Are 10 More Bob Dylan Movies You Need to See
Loved 'A Complete Unknown'? From concert films and documentaries to biopics, we review 10 other Bob Dylan movies available to stream online right now.
It’s not a biopic in the normal sense of the term – onscreen text says it is “inspired by the music and the many lives of Bob Dylan.” The 2007 film tells the story of an artist who constantly reinvents himself through a series of different characters, including a downward-spiraling star of the ’60s, a folkie-turned-Born Again gospel musician, and an actor portraying that folkie. Pennebaker’s observational documentary shows Dylan onstage and off during his 1965 tour of the U.K. – flipping cue cards of lyrics to “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” holding court in his room at London’s Savoy Hotel, and embarrassing press conference journalists. One that was “ambiguous and hard to figure out, like a puzzle.” This movie, an oddball post-apocalyptic pop music comedy, stars Dylan as rock legend Jack Fate, sprung from prison to perform a benefit concert to save some future iteration of the U.S., is a few pieces short.
