Timothee Chalamet nails Dylans mysterious aura and creative genius.
The film has a loose, hangout feel; its more of a character study than a strict narrative.
Theyll touch up the actors singing electronically or replace their voice altogether with a better singer.
Theyll add in all the instruments and orchestrations as a flat layer of soundtrack in the editing bay.
This usually makes the music sound too polished to really immerse viewers in the moment.
This process makes the music in biopics likeElvisandBohemian Rhapsodysound too clean and manufactured.
Theyre not just actors pretending to be musicians theyre the real deal.
The title ofA Complete Unknownis taken from the chorus of Dylans classic 1965 single Like a Rolling Stone.
Chalamet learned how to perform 40 Dylan songs and played them all on the set.
These in-camera performances utilized period-accurate microphones and instruments.
Theres no Hollywood trickery;just pure, unadulterated, unadorned music.
Was this based on a real incident?
The crowds reactions feel real, too.
