Something So different...

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2007)

I went in to this film (in no way should ever be called a movie, I think many would agree) thinking I knew a good deal about the background of Dylan; his history and music. I saw this last Wed , first week of dec. I walked out just drop-jawed. Haynes puts together in such a metaphysical way that I think he even leaves the most knowledgeable Dylan fan going back to his biographies and carefully listening over his records with a new ear. Maybe thats what I got most out of this film, wanting to completely re-examine my views of the meaning of the man and his music. Haynes has done something special here...and Blanchett as the Blonde on Blonde era Dylan definitely should receive some attention from many on the awards boards as a Best Supporting award.
