You’ve actually obtained at hand it to director James Mangold – he is aware of find out how to direct the heck out of a big-screen biopic. After making one of many basic biopics of the 2000s, Stroll the Line, which introduced Johnny Money’s tumultuous life to the large display screen, he’s again with A Full Unknown. This one charts the primary seven years of Bob Dylan’s profession, from his early days as a protege of folks singer Pete Seeger (performed by Edward Norton) and climaxing in his controversial choice to go “electrical”, the film is incomes early raves for star Timothee Chalamet’s efficiency as Dylan.

The truth is, Dylan himself lately took to X to advertise the movie, writing, “There’s a film about me opening quickly referred to as A Full Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring within the lead position. Timmy’s a superb actor so I’m positive he’s going to be utterly plausible as me. Or a youthful me. Or another me. The movie’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electrical – a e-book that got here out in 2015. It’s a incredible retelling of occasions from the early ‘60s that led as much as the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the film learn the e-book.”

Whereas it seems like Dylan hasn’t really seen the movie but, I used to be fortunate sufficient to get a really early take a look at the movie final evening, and located myself totally immersed on this biopic, with Chalamet simply nearly as good as everybody says he's. I’ll put up my full evaluate when the embargo breaks subsequent week, however it’s up there with The Brutalist and Nosferatu as certainly one of my favorite motion pictures of the yr. It even capabilities as a quasi-sequel to Stroll the Line, with Money a supporting participant within the movie, with Boyd Holbrook filling in for Joaquin Phoenix.
