Showings

New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music.

Even as it builds a realistic world with sweep and detail… it doesn’t try to make Bob palatable, nice or, finally, comprehensible in the usual dreary biopic fashion.

There’s something about A Complete Unknown that pushes against traditional Dylan worship and cuts a path toward something far more beautiful, flawed, and human.
