New York, early 1960s. A 19-year-old man from Minnesota arrives on a vibrant music scene during a troubled cultural time in the West Village. With his electric guitar and immense talent, Bob Dylan is driven to change the course of American folk music. As he builds treasured relationships, his fame grows, but so does his restlessness and rebellion at the same time. He refuses to be pigeonholed within the music industry. With his bravado, charm and also snark, he chooses to make controversial electronic music. It became the music of a generation.
Timothée Chalamet studied his character for a long time and then portrays him beautifully. As a musician and as an unruly colleague or lover (of Joan Baez, among others). Director James Mangold previously made a successful biopic about Johhny Cash - Walk the Line (2006) and now outdoes himself. And thanks to the permission of Dylan himself, his music can be heard in full in the film.
