★★★½ Unfortunately, this is a cookie-cutter biopic that didn’t really do anything special.

A COMPLETE UNKNOWNWritten by Jay Cocks and James Mangold. Directed by James MangoldTHOUGH BUILT AROUND A CHARISMATIC and physically potent performance by Timothee Chalamet, whose hunched shoulders and mumbles, cocked eyebrow and certain tone, averted eyes and dismissive sneer, twitchy slightness and intense allure, creates a Bob Dylan in 1961-1965 who may or may not be real but feels true, A Complete Unknown is not exactly a film about Bob Dylan. It is instead about the idea of Dylan.

On the 425th episode of Piecing It Together, journalist Corey Levitan joins me to talk about A Complete Unknown. This Bob Dylan biopic from James Mangold starring Timothee Chalamet does its best to make a story out of a mysterious music icon. Puzzle pieces include Bohemian Rhapsody, Amadeus, Birdman and inside Llewyn Davis.

"You can never be wise and be in love at the same time"- Bob DylanIf I’ve learned anything from biopics such as this it’s that fame is a real motherfucker. With Elvis he blazed the trail of superstardom - he was the first of his kind so there was nothing to warn him of the trappings that seemingly haunt every famous person, in his case and Dylan’s, famous musicians. He created a roadmap of sorts warning of the dangers that come with such acclaim.
