I<\/span>t may have taken decades for Bob Dylan to receive Academy-bait biopic treatment, but finally it happened. A Complete Unknown is James Mangold\u2019s film about Dylan\u2019s West Village ascension in the early 1960s, with Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet starring behind the shades as Dylan.<\/p>\n

The fact that the only other Dylan biopic \u2014 Todd Haynes\u2019 I\u2019m Not There (2007) \u2014 employed six different actors to play the central role suggests the size of Chalamet\u2019s task: Dylan is completely sui generis<\/i>, the metamorphic nature of his career marking him as an artist impossible to define or depict. Do you play him as the earnest young folk singer of his debut album, or the flayed Rimbaud figure of Blonde on Blonde only four years later, with Dylan juiced up on amphetamines and a \u201cthin, wild mercury sound\u201d<\/a> to him?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Not There gets around this partly by using a child actor (Marcus Carl Franklin) and an androgynous Cate Blanchett alongside the more \u201ccorrect\u201d Dylan stand-ins (e.g. Ben Whishaw), an approach that aptly mirrors the many characters Dylan has styled throughout his life, both in his career as a singer-songwriter and on the big screen too.<\/p>\n

If Haynes\u2019 film is symbolistic and formally daring, A Complete Unknown appears to be more in the mode of the rote, boring music biopic, and while I can\u2019t confess to having seen it, from what I can glean from promotional materials, Chalamet hits all the physical beats while also looking like someone has dressed their child as Bob Dylan for Halloween. Dylan himself has vouched<\/a> for Chalamet\u2019s casting, though, and in a post on X hinted at the mutability that his stand-in will have to strive for: \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chalamet said<\/a> he was unfamiliar with Dylan when approached for the project, but has since been converted to the \u201cChurch of Bob\u201d. It\u2019s doubtless that part of this conversion would\u2019ve involved studying the many incarnations of Dylan in the Movies<\/a>, then, king of which is D. A. Pennebaker\u2019s Don\u2019t Look Back (1967), which captures Dylan on tour in England in 1965, his last outing as a purely acoustic act.<\/p>\n

Billed as, variously, a concert-film and a documentary, Don\u2019t Look Back is both things and neither, with only segments of Dylan\u2019s live performances included and the frantic backstage footage more akin to a Hard Day\u2019s Night (1964) than factual reportage. Dylan isn\u2019t acting per se, but he is playing himself, or at least this version of himself: skinny and sullen behind sunglasses, all in black, blessed with emergent genius and superior because. This is still the quintessential Dylan iconography.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s one-upping an awestruck Donovan, or stopping a raucous room-party to demand that whoever threw a glass out of the window make themselves known, Dylan is very much giving a performance in Don\u2019t Look Back. He would do this again in the documentary form, most recently for Martin Scorsese in Rolling Thunder Revue (2019), a seemingly straightforward talking-head doc in the manner of No Direction Home (2005). It\u2019s only on closer inspection that Rolling Thunder is revealed to be full of Dylan\u2019s lies and leg-pulls, not least the insertion of the Revue\u2019s \u201cdirector\u201d, a tell-all interviewee on the face of it but actually a fictional character played by an actor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

But what about Dylan\u2019s own fictional performances, of which there are a handful, scattered among the many lives he has both lived and invented on screen? First off, there\u2019s his turn as Alias (the name is no coincidence), a small part in Sam Peckinpah\u2019s Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973), for which Dylan wrote the soundtrack. It\u2019s common opinion that Dylan is \u201cbad\u201d in Pat Garrett. And while that may be true of the technical quality of his performance, it remains that you can\u2019t help but look for him when he\u2019s not there. Peckinpah himself felt this, enlarging Dylan\u2019s role from an unmemorable member of Billy\u2019s gang to a mercurial newspaperman who follows The Kid around (the idea being that Alias would later tell Billy\u2019s tale, weaving fictions and printing the myth).<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the camera cuts to Dylan when it doesn\u2019t make sense to, an effect that catches both viewer and actor off guard, Dylan jerky and awkward, his speech littered with \u201cuh\u2019s\u201d, his eyes (\u201cblue as robin\u2019s eggs\u201d, per Joan Baez<\/a>) blazing out from beneath the brim of a cowboy hat. His compositions may motor the movie, but Dylan\u2019s perplexing performance (his key scene has him read out the labels of bean cans) further inflects it with a mournful unknowability. It\u2019s a slim role, but Dylan exudes enough enigma to make it stick.<\/p>\n

He is less successful for Richard Marquand in Hearts of Fire (1987), playing co-lead in a film released at time of creative standstill for Dylan, just out of his Christian run of albums and yet to be reborn again with Oh Mercy in 1989. Sporting a touch of mustard-yellow in his curls, Dylan mumbles his way through a film only available on YouTube<\/a> and best left there.<\/p>\n

Of much more importance is Masked and Anonymous (2003), which Dylan co-wrote with Larry Charles, who also directs, shooting it like it\u2019s a hostage video. The film was disparaged<\/a> upon release, and its reputation has only slightly improved with Letterboxd and time \u2014 it\u2019s now considered a curio! While it\u2019s true that the film has a lowdown look and dialogue that proves \u201conly Dylan can do Dylan\u201d \u2014 in other peoples\u2019 mouths his words can seem shallow \u2014 its supposed demerits are actually the things that most recommend it: its inscrutability and ill-advisedness, as well as its determination to describe a New Weird America (to paraphrase<\/a> Greil Marcus). Best of all, Masked and Anonymous is like a Dylan song come to life: unconcerned with passing fashion and completely out of time.<\/p>\n

Dylan ostensibly plays the lead, his Jack Fate a washed-up midlist rock star who makes a return for a benefit concert in a country run by a perverted dictator. Dylan looks physically uncomfortable in front of the camera, an era away from the restless energy he showed on stage and film during the Rolling Thunder tour, which he captured hundreds of hours of and turned into Renaldo and Clara (1978). That restlessness is still there in Masked and Anonymous, but he reserves it for his face, which squints and slants and never stills. Beneath it, his body looks like it\u2019s stuck on inhale. You start to wonder if the reason Dylan speaks in clipped aphorism, rarely ever putting multiple sentences together, is so that the camera can slew away and he can breathe again. He does, at least, have the good sense to surround himself with an absolutely stacked cast of A-List and respected actors, many of whom took pay cuts to work with Dylan.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Dylan is oddly moving in Masked and Anonymous. He has a great face for staring ruefully out of windows while his own masterpieces play, and in the film\u2019s musical set pieces you see the thrill of his artistry blow away the amateur aspects of his performance style, which at worst is wooden but at best wouldn\u2019t look out of place in Twin Peaks: The Return, a Lynch link backed up by critic Will Sloan<\/a>, who calls Masked and Anonymous Dylan\u2019s Inland Empire, \u201ca state of the union of Bob Dylan\u2019s subconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Zimmerman. Arthur Rimbaud. Alias. Jack Fate: Bob Dylan has played many parts and many people. Misdirection, unknowability, masks, myths: these are his modes, and his long history in the movies suggests it as an art form perfect for his protean wiles, shapeshifting with the medium, always busy being born. \u201cWho are you?\u201d someone asks early on in Pat Garrett. It\u2019s a good question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
