Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Ben Whishaw are all Bob Dylan. I’m Not There is an unconventional journey into the life and times of Bob Dylan. Six actors portray Dylan as a series of shifting personae – from the public to the private to the fantastical – weaving together a rich and colourful portrait of this ever-elusive American icon….
“I’m Not There’ is the most honest cinematic portrayal of anyone’s life, living or dead, real or fictional, that you’re ever likely to see. And it most certainly has the best soundtrack.”
Channel 4
“One of the must-see films of the year…a masterful, multi-faceted collage-portrait of Dylan”
