A COMPLETE UNKNOWN (15) 2 hours 21 mins Director: James Mangold Starring: Timothee Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro Synopsis: Set in the influential New York City music scene of the early 1960s, "A Complete Unknown" follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan's meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts as his songs and his mystique become a worldwide sensation that culminates in his groundbreaking electric rock-and-roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Awards: Eight Oscar nominations, six BAFTA nominations, three Golden Globes nominations Reviews: "Dylan’s greatest hits have always been heirlooms: somehow just there. Amid the recreated past, the movie restores a sense of how seismic they would originally have been... New ears and life-long fans may both relish the raw novelty. " **** FINANCIAL TIMES "It’s a remarkable performance. Star of the moment Timothée Chalamet inhabits the loose-limbed, live-wire physicality of the young Bob Dylan and makes an impressively good fist of capturing the frayed hessian of his distinctive voice." **** OBSERVER "Chalamet gives us a semi-serious ordeal of someone who is part Steinbeck hero, part boyband star, part sacrificial deity. On being derisively asked if he is God, Chalamet’s Dylan replies: “How many more times? Yes.” ***** GUARDIAN
