‘A Complete Unknown’ Trailer (2024)

It’s “A Complete Unknown,” director James Mangold’s transportive movie about a young Bob Dylan trying to make it as a scrappy folk singer in New York.The 28-year-old “Dune” actor, who convincingly does all his own singing here, was the perfect choice to play Dylan. Really, the only choice. He makes the movie.These movies just saw their Oscar chances plummet

“A Complete Unknown” is smartly contained to 1961 through 1965, from Dylan’s “three bucks, two bags, one me!” arrival in downtown Manhattan to him being booed off the stage at the ‘65 Newport Folk Festival. A four-year span was the right call. Depicting a consequential period is almost always preferable to cramming in cradle-to-grave.

Wanderin’ Bob is instantly attracted to singer Joan Baez after a set at Gerde’s Folk City, and cheats on Sylvie . Bob is not particularly kind to either woman — more obsessed with music and lyrics than with Sylvie and Joan — and “A Complete Unknown” is not anyone’s idea of a romantic film.
