"A Complete Unknown" — Upcoming Movie About Bob Dylan

There's an upcoming biographical movie about Bob Dylan, and it will release in late 2024-early 2025:

The trailer featured "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall," but I suspect the movie will feature more of Dylan's songs. If it includes "Like a Rolling Stone," I think I might internally freak out in excitement while watching.

I don't know whether any theaters will screen it where I live, especially since Bob Dylan isn't well-known or popular here. I hope some do, though, because I'd love to watch it in a theater.

Is anyone else looking forward to this movie?

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea this was happening. Bio-pics often disappoint imo, but I’ll almost certainly watch this one nonetheless.

Having just read the link, this is about a very interesting period in Dylan’s career; he came to England in the 60s - a sort of reverse British Invasion - but his new electric line-up got booed by die-hard folkies. It was 10 years before he came back here.

Looking forward to this.
I'm lucky we have an 'art house' sort of cinema in Manchester (UK) that shows this type of movie. I watched the Leonard Cohen one there last year.

I think some of his best songs came out in the '60s, especially when he became a de facto musical spokesman for the civil rights movement. I like that the movie is focusing on that period of his career.

I didn't know that his electric lineup got booed. That's pretty interesting. I guess he has nothing to regret about that in hindsight, though—especially not after winning a Nobel prize.

Yes true. I had a friend who was there. He was disgusted by their behaviour and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the show.
