Timothée Chalamet is on a motorcycle ride straight to an Academy Award nomination for his performance of Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown. The movie follows the 19-year-old mysterious Minnesotan in 1961 as he ditches the name Robert Zimmerman to create his own myth, concluding with him “going electric” at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. While the picture may not get all the facts down, it nicely captures the essence of the man and the spirit of the times.
The movie’s toe-tapping big finish may have you shouting “encore!” at the multiplex, but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. Luckily, a legend like Dylan has a large footprint on streaming video, so you can keep the party going as soon as you get back from the theater. Here are a few titles we recommend.
