Interview with A Complete Unknown Cinematographer
A Complete Unknown is a biographical movie that follows a young Bob Dylan as he integrates with New York and catches the eye of the folk singers in the area. As everyone knows, this eventually propels him into stardom, something that he was not prepared for. Timothée Chalamet brilliantly leads as Bob Dylan, completely immersing himself in the role, even performing live as the singer.
Posts ScreenRant interviewed Phedon Papamichael about his latest collaboration with James Mangold. He discussed the journey that Bob Dylan goes on, in terms of musical performances and intimate moments, throughout A Complete Unknown. Papamichael also spoke about the decision to record performances live rather than having the actors lip-sync to pre-recorded tracks.
Then that whole journey of him exploding into the world of that scene and him dealing with that. I mean, it's just a beautiful, conflicted journey, which his whole life, was like that. He kept reinventing himself his whole life. But this phase in particular, till the Newport concert where he goes all out, and he rebels, in a way, against, his loves in many ways.
It's great doing a bio picture like that. We've done it with Mangold before. This is our seventh movie. We did it on Walk the Line. When you have a performer like Joaquin or Timothée in this case, they're inspiring. His energy and his love and attention to detail, his focus, because he's also a young man like Bob. It's just inspiring for us filmmakers to be presented with those opportunities and really capture a great artist portraying another genius artist.
But Timothée, in front of our eyes, he transformed into this person, and he kept saying, let me do it live. Let me do live. Can I do a live one? Let me do it, and we were like, yeah, sure, go for it. And we were in awe every time, every take. Of course, it adds something in addition to lip syncing back even to your own prerecorded . There's a lot of these songs. They're not like perfectly timed. It's not like a Taylor Swift concert.
