"A Complete Unknown" - (R; 2 hours, 21 minutes) - HELD OVER - Set in New York City during the transformative year of 1961, "A Complete Unknown" explores the meteoric rise of 19-year-old Minnesota native whose guitar and groundbreaking talent would redefine the course of American music. Against the backdrop of Greenwich Village’s thriving music scene and a nation on the cusp of cultural revolution, this enigmatic young artist forges meaningful relationships with legendary figures, carving his path toward fame. His journey culminates in a pivotal, controversial performance that sends shockwaves through the music world and solidifies his place as an icon. Timothée Chalamet stars - singing and playing guitar and harmonica - as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s dynamic portrayal of the early years of one of the most influential singer-songwriters in history. Inspired by Elijah Wald’s acclaimed nonfiction book "Dylan Goes Electric!," the film seamlessly weaves biographical elements into a compelling narrative of ambition, transformation, and the bittersweet reality of fame. Crafted by Mangold and Jay Cocks, this is the electrifying story of an artist who split the 1960s and changed music forever.
