Review of I'm Not There (2007) by Clive F — 28 Dec 2012

I guess the whole really is not the sum of its parts. No attempt is presented to rationalize how these Dylans are really one whole Dylan, which is the purpose. By fashioning this patchwork of Bob Dylans, Haynes assembles a portrait not of the man but of our incompatible perceptions.

Coming away from "I'm Not There," one has replenished one's palette for a few of Dylan's songs, we've seen six exceptionally able actors put to the test for the first time in a long time by taking on the roles of components of a total person.

And I was very fond of the Fellini references in Cate Blanchett's thread.
