An intricate musical mockumentary drama western may be the only means in which to express the life and music of Bob Dylan. A man with such artistic influence requires a creatively indirect homage like I’m Not There rather the traditional structure of biographical moviefilms. The timeline isn’t something to belabor yourself with. Each representation of the subject is unparalleled, their crises and climaxes occuring apart from one another, while they still connect and overlap with poetic precision. Todd Haynes arms each narrative with a visually distinct style, ranging from the rock documentary featuring Christian Bale or the Fillini-inspired retro show for the transcendental Cate Blanchett. Each Dylan player is perfect, but there are tremendous perfomances elsewhere, like the lovely Charlotte Gainsbourg and the familiar authoritarian Bruce Greenwood.
