Dylan in the Movies
April 4–24
The artistry and influence of Bob Dylan extends beyond American popular music, leaving an indelible mark on arts and culture, especially cinema — and not just James Mangold's critically acclaimed biopic A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. An enthusiastic movie fan himself, Dylan has been the subject of several outstanding documentaries, contributed his music to hundreds of films and acted on occasion (to wit, PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID, playing in George Pelecanos Presents: Sam Peckinpah in the '70s); a few vagabond productions even bear his name as screenwriter and/or director. This series gathers together some of the most essential Dylan films from across his long and enduring career, including those that pay tribute to his peers and those inspired by his enigmatic persona.
