More details on A Complete Unknown
A Complete Unknown is a biopic of legendary singer Bob Dylan and the circumstances surrounding his fame and success as it delves deeper into the artist's personal and professional life. Chalamet has been highly acclaimed for his role as he underwent rigorous preparations to bring the star on-screen. The actor even sang his own songs.
The film takes inspiration from Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald, and the title is a reference to Dylan's song Like a Rolling Stone. Chalamet is known to have trained for five years in prep for the role and stayed close to the visual material to do his best portraying the legendary singer.
Speaking with CoupdeMain about the project, the actor said,
"There are two versions of a Bob Dylan movie you could make. You've got a version that is a behavioural master class on a guy who didn't really make eye contact that often and the mystery that surrounded him, or you do something that could be disingenuous to his life and work, a greatest-hits compilation that sort of ignores the fact that his career wasn't a straight trajectory. Jim was quick to walk a fine line between demystifying Bob and not doing a sycophantic thing... We didn't want to draw conjecture that would have demystified the way life was for Bob in Minnesota. That's why I love the title of the movie, 'A Complete Unknown'. Some stuff is left to the imagination, because Bob's ethos as an artist is the myth of self-creation."
The film also stars Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz, Eriko Hatsune, Big Bill Morganfield, Will Harrison, and Scoot McNairy. At the 97th Academy Awards, the movie received eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Edward Norton, Best Actor for Chalamet, and Best Supporting Actress for Monica Barbaro.
