I'm Not There (2007)

I’m Not There: Directed by Todd Haynes. With Cate Blanchett, Ben Whishaw, Christian Bale, Richard Gere. Ruminations on the life of Bob Dylan, where six characters embody a different aspect of the musician’s life and work.

“This movie can be difficult to follow if you are not familiar with Bob Dylan, but it is in fact a carefully and lovingly crafted tribute, that aims to reflect the essence of the artistu0026#39;s work and life. It is a fun take on its subject, though in order to be fully appreciated, one has to know what is being explored. Otherwise, it may seem a tedious watch, but perhaps that is appropriate as in order to fully appreciate Bob Dylan, one has to pay attention, and then it becomes quite rewarding. The shape-shifting nature of Bob Dylan has been portrayed, quite fittingly, by several actors of various backgrounds, ages, sexes and races – in that respect, it is as original and unexpected as its subject. All in all, an interesting, artistic and original but perhaps somewhat inaccessible – to an uninitiated viewer – tribute to one of the greatest artistic geniuses Americana has ever reared.”
