WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for A Complete Unknown.
After a nearly decade-long hiatus from touring, Bob Dylan returned to create more music following the events depicted in A Complete Unknown. The film, starring Timothée Chalamet as the legendary folk singer/songwriter, was released in theaters on Christmas Day 2024. The cast also includes Elle Fanning, Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro, Dan Fogler, and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash. While the film chronicles Dylan's rise to fame, A Complete Unknown takes creative liberties, altering several details of Bob Dylan's real-life story.
Directed by James Mangold, known for Ford v Ferrari and Logan, A Complete Unknown is already being hailed as one of the best films of the year. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 79% and an audience score of 95%, the film is in contention for several awards, including three Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet, and Best Supporting Actor for Edward Norton. The biopic explores Bob Dylan's early years, focusing on his arrival in New York and rapid rise to fame with the help of Pete Seeger. It also delves into Dylan's relationships with Sylvie Russo and fellow singer/songwriter Joan Baez.
