A Complete Unknown, directed by the acclaimed James Mangold (Walk the Line, Ford v Ferrari), is a cinematic tribute to one of music’s most transformative moments. This biographical musical drama captures Bob Dylan’s meteoric rise from a young folk singer in Minnesota to a global icon, culminating in his electrifying and controversial 1965 performance at the Newport Folk Festival, where he redefined the boundaries of popular music.

Starring Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet as Dylan, the film features an exceptional ensemble cast, including Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and Monica Barbaro. Chalamet, who also serves as producer, delivers a mesmerizing portrayal of the enigmatic artist, embodying both his lyrical genius and his rebellious spirit.

Adapted from Elijah Wald’s critically acclaimed book Dylan Goes Electric!, A Complete Unknown has already been hailed as a masterful blend of music, history, and drama. With its roots in the vibrant New York music scene of the early ’60s, the film celebrates Dylan’s revolutionary artistry and the cultural shifts his music inspired.
