A new spin on an old hit:

I just saw “A Complete Unknown” and I highly recommend it, especially if you have any interest in the music and zeitgeist that changed the world in the 60’s. Timothee Chalamet’s portrayal of the young Bob Dylan is brilliant. He gets the character right and he even learned to play guitar and harmonica and to sing like Dylan. The film very accurately recreates the early 60’s Greenwich Village scene. We see a young Dylan landing in New York from Minnesota, meeting Woody Guthrie on his deathbed, becoming mentored by Pete Seeger and forming a relationship with Joan Baez both musically and romantically (Monaco Barbaro also learned how to sing and play guitar like Joan). Johnny Cash also makes an appearance as a film character. This all happens during the historical backdrop of the early 60’s Cuban missile crisis, Civil Rights movement and Kennedy assassination. We also see the controversy around Dylan “going electric” and the backlash this created at the Newport Folk Festival. This will be remembered as one of the great films of 2024.
