No-one would expect Todd Haynes, the director of such offbeat works as [Safe], Velvet Goldmine and Far From Heaven, to make a straightforward biopic of legendary singer Bob Dylan, but I'm Not There still caught most by surprise. Haynes presents us with six different aspects of the singer's professional life and personality in which he is played by six different actors, including Richard Gere, Christian Bale, the late Heath Ledger and, most startlingly and uncannily, Cate Blanchett. The resulting film is both challenging and rewarding, a complete rewriting of the biopic rules and a fascinating and unique film experience. |
