Hold onto your hats, music lovers! A Complete Unknown is set to take audiences on a wild ride through Bob Dylan's early career. This film, directed by James Mangold—the same genius behind the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line—zooms in on Dylan's transformative years in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s.
The official synopsis cites "New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide."
