Timothée Chalamet Sees Similarity Between Bob Dylan’s Subtle Lyrical Activism & ‘Dune’s Message: “Be Wary Of Savior-Like Figures” – Berlin Film Festival


Timothée Chalamet is in Berlin for the German premiere of Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown'.

Speaking at the movie’s press conference, Chalamet was asked multiple times by the audience what he took from Bob Dylan’s subtle lyrical activism and his ability to separate his art and public persona from becoming overwhelmed by personal political stances. Chalamet drew comparisons between Dylan’s subtle political messages and those of Dune writer George Herbert: “Be wary of cult like figures,” would be his takeaway from both men, he said, adding that that is a sensible philosophy. A Complete Unknown also stars Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy.
