'It's a movie about music that is authentic.' A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, a film by James Mangold. Only in theaters Christmas Day. New York, 1961.
A Complete Unknown might have the added benefit of everyone in the cast singing and playing their own instruments, but weird pacing and structure decisions mean we come into a film about Bob Dylan learning almost nothing new about the man himself. Director: James Mangold Summary: In 1961, unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar.
The film makes the strange decision only to show dates twice, and there is a moment where there is a time jump that is so badly shot and edited that it is unclear whether a time jump happened or how long it has even been. The movie didn't need to tell us it had been two months, for example, but they didn't even use any real visual cues to show the passage of time, like the sun rising and setting or the seasons changing.
