Todd Haynes’ highly anticipated biographical film about legendary singer and songwriter Bob Dylan follows six distinct characters, embodying a different aspect of Dylan’s life and music. Cate Blanchett (nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar), Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Ben Whishaw and Marcus Carl Franklin all take turns playing Dylan, and Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg appear as two of the women in his life. Lyrical, poetic and highly stylized, it’s the first biographical feature project to secure the approval of Dylan himself. A.O. Scott, The New York Times: “Among its many achievements, Todd Haynes’s I’M NOT THERE hurls a Molotov cocktail through the facade of the Hollywood biopic factory, exploding the literal-minded, anti-intellectual assumptions that guide even the most admiring cinematic explorations of artists’ lives. Rather than turn out yet another dutiful, linear chronicle of childhood trauma and grown-up substance abuse, Mr. Haynes has produced a dizzying document of images and styles, in which his subject appears in the form of six different people.” Sponsored by Figrig Web Crafters and National Life Group. (Producer Christine Vachon will discuss this and other films on Sunday, March 30 at Kellogg-Hubbard Library.) Rated R, 135 minutes. Film review
