I'm Not There (2007)
Seeing Don't Look Back and No Direction Home is almost a prerequisite to seeing this film. A Dylan biography or two probably wouldn't have hurt me either (I've never read any). Dylanologists will find much to ponder here; casual moviegoers expecting a biopic like Ray or Walk the Line, not so much.
It's like a Slaughterhouse Five rendition of Dylan's story, not even really about his life but what people know of it. I liked it, but some audience members walked out. Those who got to the end, though, definitely found themselves unable to resist singing along to "Like A Rolling Stone."
Also, Richard Gere has really lost any sort of charisma or pull he may have once had with me. It might have just been his storyline, but he felt like a total squirm-inducing blank slate.
