CGiii Comment

A good-looking, well-made, tedious account of Bob Dylan's life.

And, rather strangely, reminiscent of Orlando (not as original as Haynes may think).

A diabolical waste of the talent on offer...it will alienate rather than attract an audience.

With such a ridiculous narrative, Mr Haynes has secured a place in the elite club of pretentiousness...commonly known as over-paid directors.

Not impressive - it should have been.

The(ir) Blurb...

Six incarnations of Bob Dylan: an actor, a folk singer, an electrified troubadour, Rimbaud, Billy the Kid, and Woody Guthrie. Put Dylan's music behind their adventures, soliloquies, interviews, marriage, and infidelity. Recreate 1960s documentaries in black and white. Put each at a crossroads, the artist becoming someone else. Jack, the son of Ramblin' Jack Elliott, finds Jesus; handsome Robbie falls in love then abandons Claire. Woody, a lad escaped from foster care, hobos the U.S. singing; Billy awakes in a valley threatened by a six-lane highway; Rimbaud talks. Jude, booed at Newport when he goes electric, fences with reporters, pundits, and fans. He won't be classified.
