I'M NOT THERE
Todd Haynes' experimental biopic of Bob Dylan employs six different actors to portray aspects and avatars of the mercurial singer/songwriter: young Marcus Carl Franklin is precocious, rail-riding hobo "Woody"; Ben Whishaw plays poet "Arthur Rimbaud"; Christian Bale is the earnest singer of protest songs; Heath Ledger is the comfortable, jaded professional pop star; Richard Gere is the aging man retreating into idiosyncrasy; and, most daring of all, Cate Blanchett is "Jude," the sardonic rocker who gave audiences what they needed, if not what they wanted. The results are mind-blowing, consciousness-expanding and thought-provoking — just like Dylan's music. DIR/SCR Todd Haynes; SCR Oren Moverman; PROD John Goldwyn, John Sloss, James D.
