A Complete Unknown
In early 1960s New York City, a young Bob Dylan (Timothée Chalamet) arrives the growing music scene with only a guitar in hand. The talented and mysterious folk singer soon unwittingly becomes the voice of the generation. Fame and acclaim have not smoothened his edges but only serve to catalyze the next chapter of his artistic evolution: going electric. Chalamet takes on one of the 20th century’s most recognizable icons, even performing Dylan’s songs live during filming.
The screening on 8 February will be introduced by M+ Assistant Curator of Moving Image Francisco Lo.
About the Director
James Mangold (b. 1961, United States) won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival for directing his first film Heavy (1995). Early success led to a steady career in Hollywood. His Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line (2005), led Reese Witherspoon to receive the Best Actress at the 78th Academy Awards. His violent and intense potrait of Wolverine in Logan (2017) was hailed as breath of fresh air in the superhero genre while the auto-racing drama Ford v Ferrari (2019) was praised as one of the year’s best films.
