James Mangold has established himself as a terrific filmmaker with modern classics like the Best Picture nominee Ford v. Ferrari, the excellent comic book film Logan, and the acclaimed remake of 3:10 to Yuma. However, the most acclaimed project of Mangold’s career thus far was the biopic Walk the Line, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash.
Cash serves an important role in the story of A Complete Unknown, and does not appear just for the sake of including another iconic artist. Although Dylan does find another mentor in Pete Seeger , Cash is the one who encourages him to follow his instincts instead of relying on what record producers want him to do.
A Complete Unknown is a great companion piece to Walk the Line, as they take very different approaches to the musician biopic genre. Walk the Line drew some criticism for attempting to cram in every detail about Cash’s life, and was ruthlessly parodied by the satire Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Comparatively, A Complete Unknown is a far more atmospheric coming-of-age story that examines a very specific window in Dylan’s career.
