Getting caught up with Dylan on film

Lots of Bob Dylan on film for you to read about - if you want

Good morning, friends. I have been trying to be a good boy with Santa coming and all and tried NOT to read any of the reviews/commentaries/analysis/criticisms of “A Complete Unknown” so as to see the film after Santa’s visit with as clear a mind as I have at this point in my life. A friend of mine actually wrote me and said he was waiting until I wrote about “A Complete Unknown” before deciding to go see it.

I did happen to see a story on the fabulous Expecting Rain site (been gently bugging Karl to do an interview with me) that prompted me to write this. It was a great call: “Bob Dylan movies to see before you see “A Complete Unknown.” And I thought, HEY, I can help with that.

BOB DYLAN ON FILM

Unlike many of your poor unsuspecting souls out there, I’ve watched ALL of “Renaldo and Clara” and ALL of “Eat The Document” as well as "The Other Side Of The Mirror” which documents ALL of Dylan’s Newport appearances and just for fun, I imagined what a Todd Haynes sequel to “I’m Not There” might look like if he focused on Bob’s most recent No. 1 hit, “Murder Most Foul.”

As a service to Bob Dylan Nation out there, I collected the links to all of these on a single post. Consider it a Christmas gift BEFORE we get to see “A Complete Unknown.”

Happy reading, one and all…
