PLOT New York, 1961. Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan (Chalamet) aspires to be the voice of a generation. But a controversial switch to the electric guitar is beckoning...
THE BOB DYLAN Cinematic Universe is a-changing. Dozens of films about the legendary singer-songwriter already exist — including two docs by Martin Scorsese, 2007’s I’m Not There (in which no fewer than six actors took on Dylan), and the bizarre Masked And Anonymous, in which Dylan played a version of himself.
