In a revealing anecdote after the first screening of his latest biopic A Complete Unknown, James Mangold relayed the question posed to him by Bob Dylan: “So what is this movie about?” It’s a fair inquiry, especially for a legendary figure whose profound resonance has been felt in cinema just as it has in music. In documentary form, his presence has been the focus of D.A. Pennebaker’s seminal direct-cinema film Dont Look Back, no fewer than two Martin Scorsese documentaries (No Direction Home and Rolling Thunder Revue), and his own Eat the Document. His fictional representations are also considerable: the highlight is likely Todd Haynes’s I’m Not There––which forms a definitive statement precisely because its mélange of faces and styles refuses to settle on one interpretation of the musician––though Dylan also put forth offbeat and personal efforts like Renaldo and Clara and Masked & Anonymous.
