FIFTY/FEWER: I'm Not There (Todd Haynes, 2007)

03 October 2007


Utter brilliance. Todd Haynes delivers his inventive supposition on Dylan by compartmentalizing the singer’s legend into six characters. Yet, the story is delightfully linear and fully satisfying, with each avatar well realized and Haynes at his stylistic best; documentary and fiction combine, with a nod to Pennebaker’s seminal Don’t Look Back.

I'm Not There (2007) ~ writ Haynes and Oren Moverman, inspired by the music and many lives of Bob Dylan; cine Edward Lachman; edit Jay Rabinowitz; with Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Ben Whishaw and Charlotte Gainsbourg ~ at the 45th New York Film Festival this week, in theaters November 21.

Outside-the-Word-Count Notes:
~ This is my favorite from the New York Film Festival so far, but I have yet to see the Coens’ No Country for Old Men, Lumet’s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, Baumbach’s Margot at the Wedding, and Satrapi’s Persepolis, among others.
~Speaking of Don't Look Back, that is one of the better (read: just plain awesome) film posters I've seen in awhile.
