"I'm Not There"

This dazzling film explores the idea of Bob Dylan, "poet, prophet, outlaw, fake, star of electricity."

    A work of total Genius

    We who grew up with Bob Dylan are given a feast here. I just saw the film and will see it again, it's simply gorgeous and coherent in a way that few reveiwers report.

    Stephanie: I lost you long ago when you recommended the horrid "Masked and Anonymous." But you NAILED this masterpiece. I don't know who at Salon is online the night before Thanksgiving (or this whole day) but these posts are really blighted.

    The film is everything that we who know Dylan from the inside, from living when he lived, should be simply agog at how very great this film is. To "get" it one would have to have seen "No Direction Home" and "Don't Look Back" and many other films as well as loving the great music he created and creates. Go see it. Do not listen to all these whiners in the majority here. Have respect for both Haynes and Dylan and have a ball.
