It was one of most creative expressions of an artist I have seen. It really has the audience remembering all the events of the time and reflecting on his voice during each time. I also loved Cate Blanchett playing the parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blanchett IS Dylan as far as I'm concerned....
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2013

I am one of those Dylan fans that must own everything he created, and read everything written about him that I can get my hands on. I consider myself Dylan-obsessed. "I'm Not There" will not make sense if you don't know about Dylan's influences and the people that surrounded him. This movie touches on just about everything from his past, whether fact or myth. The main characters never seem to meet or interact with each other. There are crossovers between the characters such as when the boy imitating Woody Guthrie train-hopping from place to place singing Dust Bowl era folksongs leaves his guitar on a train later to be found by an aging Billy The Kid played by Richard Gere on the run from the law or the end of the world. Another crossover is the Jack character played by Christian Bale portraying a finger-pointing folksinger, "voice of a generation" that is the subject of a film about his life and eventual rejection of the political folk world. The actor playing Jack is Robbie played by Heath Ledger, who meets a woman played by the beautiful Charlotte Gainsbourg. They become lovers, then marry and eventually divorce. She is supposed to represent Dylan's relationships with Suze Rotolo and Sara Lownds all rolled into one.

Arthur Rimbaud is not so much a character as he is a narrator played by Ben Whishaw seeming to give no real answers to whomever is questioning him and sounding a lot like Dylan in the mid-60's. Cate Blanchett plays Dylan during his amphetamine electric days. Blanchett's performance by itself would be the only reason you need to see this film. She is so magnificent, you don't have to even pretend that she's Dylan. She IS Dylan as far as I'm concerned. I can't imagine anyone who could have been better. Sidekicks Allen Ginsberg, Bobby Neuwirth and Edie Sedgwick are portrayed in the movie. A Joan Baez like character played by Julianne Moore makes an appearance. The Bobby Neuwirth character is on the receiving end of a vicious putdown by Blanchett's Dylan filled with all kinds of vulgar language I can't say here. A Dylan-obsessed fan will pick up on the visual hints throughout the film such as the tarantula. You will hear Dylan quotes throughout the dialogue. Some scenes are reminiscent of real events while others are more dreamlike and seem to be what someone wished had happened instead of what really did. I watched the film with my mother who is in her 70's and only a casual listener of his music and she didn't really get it. It was sort of a lukewarm reaction from her. She hasn't read anything about Dylan. She reacted to the scenes Blanchett was in and the Jack character the most because they evoke scenes of Dylan back in the day.

I would say this movie leaves you with quite a lot to chew on when it's over - in particular the scenes where Arthur Rimbaud gives advice for someone who wants to go into hiding: Create Nothing. Advice no artist or writer ever listens to. You can never take back that which you have created and you will never be in control of it. Look for Jim James from My Morning Jacket performing during the Richard Gere scenes - not to be missed. Overall, I would say if you are a major Dylan fan you must get this. If you really don't know much about Dylan I would tell you to read about him or watch some of the footage available of him performing and being interviewed first so that you have the fun of recognizing things in the film. In watching it you never can tell what exactly was created by Dylan and what was created by his fan's image of him - or even the media's image of him. It all sort of mixes together here. Also, Thank you to whomever was responsible for putting the real Dylan songs in the background throughout the film. It really would have taken away from the film had they not been there. One last thought, take this film for what it is: an imaginative piece of art that never tries to peel layers off of any of the Dylan myths, but maybe tries to add a couple more layers instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Montage of Late-20th Century Cinema
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2008

There is something about "I'm Not There" that lets you know at once it is more than a biopic. Yes, the main character changes from the exuberant, tall-tale telling Woody(Marcus Carl Franklin); to poet Arthur Rimbaud (Ben Wishaw), to entitled Jude Quinn (Cate Blanchett), to movie star Robbie (Heath Ledger) to folk "hero" Jack Rollins (Christian Bale) to Billy the Kid (Richard Gere) and back and forth between them. This is an homage, as Todd Haynes reveals on the commmentator track, to many of the different directors in the sixties and seventies. Fellini, Goddard, and Peckinpah are mentioned, but I see glimmers of Scorcese and Sergio Leone.

The shuttle of characters works incredibly smoothly, and the variety of film techniques also helps to delineate the six characters.

Most of Jude's (Blanchett) story, a black and white Fellini tribute, consists of sparring. Blanchett embues Jude with some of the ugliness Dylan is supposed to have shown to friends and fans during the time his style deviated from straight protest. A journalist acts like everyman, or perhaps even Jude's conscience, turning up even in the elevator, asking "If you are not singing protest songs any more, does that mean you do not believe what you were singing? And if so, what do you believe?" Dali-esque photography, such as a tarantula crawling across the lens of the camera, continues the Fellini theme.

Robbie's story is splashed with the pale colors and spare dialogue of a Jean-Luc Goddard film, and like Goddard, the story of Claire and Robbie (mirroring Dylan's first marriage, and the Vietname war) struggles with traditional expectations of women. I wonder if there isn't a bit of Martin Scorcese in this scene too, with the raw emotion between Robbie and Claire, the theme of redemption...Robbie being perhaps the Dylan that stands to lose the most.

Gere plays "Billy", based on Dylan's fancy of himself as an outlaw. A Peckinpah-ish vision of Western scenery in which Halloween costumed people pack up all their belongings and shuffle off to accomadate a 6 lane highway is featured. Someone dressed as a soldier in clown face sings a song for a girl who's committed suicide and lies in an open casket: "Goin to Acapulco" which to date, I think, is the most beautiful Dylan song I've heard. Now we're not watching Peckinpah, we're watching Leone, specifically, the prison scene in  Il Buono Il Brutto Il Cattivo  when soldiers are forced to sing to cover up the noise of torture.

Billy's function as far as the Bard is concerned is to keep him off the world stage for awhile, mimicking Dylan's hiatus in the late sixties. The story picks up with Jack Rollins(Bale), now a pastor in an evangelical church.

Christian Bale makes a valiant effort at portraying what I'm sure he or Haynes thinks an evangelical pastor is like. But it comes off as rather stiff. The film style, however, is spot on, recalling grainy seventies documentaries about "the silent majority", and "the New Evangelicals", at a time the US elected a President who talked openly about being "born again". It also has the look and feel of Christian "scare" films of that era such as  A Thief in the Night .

The stories of Rimbaud (Wishaw), the poet; and of Woody (Franklin), ares as compelling and well done.

I was confused about one thing. The choice of Franklin, an eleven year old black kid, who never gets treated like a kid, and who never gets treated as blacks were in the segregated south, to symbolize the twenty-something b.s.-ing Dylan in his first years in New York, was brilliant.

So why did Cate Blanchett have to dress like a boy? Did the writer or director ever consider the character, Judy Quinn? Just curious.

Dillon has openly confessed that he made a deal with the “Chief Commander”, referring to Lucifer. Hear this: There is no pact (including a blood pact) that cannot be broken with Lucifer. Only the pact with Almighty God is a one-and done. He writes your name into the Book of Life and he has no need for an eraser. He said “Nothing can pluck you from my hand”.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the booklet?
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

This is not my formal final review because I have not watched this copy yet. I did rent it and watch it a while back so this will be my second time. I was very attracted to the idea of the additional materials. I take a backseat to no one in idolizing Bob Dylan. I am about to turn 68 and I still remember being a chewy I'd teenager, listening to Like a Rolling Stone on my transistor radio in the basement and having my mind blown over and over and over. The very fact that any radio station would play it was a shock. Nobody Play a song that lasted longer than 3 minutes on AM radio. And FM had not even begun to exist in the main stream. I have a question and I would really love it if somebody could answer this for me. The copy I just purchased is used so there could be pieces missing. There's obviously supposed to be a little booklet clipped to the inside cover. You can see the little clips there but no booklet. There would be no need for the CD manufacturers to spend the money on this type of CD case unless they plan to include written material. Otherwise a simple two-CD case will do. Can anyone confirm that there should be a little booklet of some sort attached to the inside of the front cover? Or not?

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely worth the view, even for newbies to Bob Dylan
Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2024

Somehow, generationally, I was never turned on to Bob Dylan. When I did hear the odd song, the voice was an instant turnoff. But like Leonard Cohen, Dylan was/is first and foremost a poet, a wordsmith. On this level I can really appreciate their language and poetry. I still bristle when I hear either of them “sing”.

Tonight we watched Todd Haynes’ I’m Not There (2007).

Hats off to Haynes, I have say. Even without being a Dylan fan, the movie worked. It’s too long, but conceptually it really works. Bob Dylan was not going to let anyone make a biopic. In this instance his agent asked for a one page preview. Haynes sent this message:

"If a film were to exist in which the breadth and flux of a creative life could be experienced, a film that could open up, as opposed to consolidating, what we think we already know walking in, it could never be within the tidy arc of a master narrative. The structure of such a film would have to be a fractured one, with numerous openings and a multitude of voices, with its prime strategy being one of refraction, not condensation. Imagine a film splintered between seven separate faces – old men, young men, women, children – each standing in for spaces in a single life.”

Dylan gave the nod.

How Haynes then breaks this long biopic up is really clever. He and Oren Overman wrote the script as Dylan’s life in six parts, played by six different actors, including Cate Blanchett.

This is worth watching. As with the Sparks doc, I am not about to purchase the back catalog, but I was entertained.

And the cats across the roof,
Mad in love, scream into drainpipes.
It's I who am ready. Ready to listen.
Never tired. Never sad. Never guilty.

1. Wer Bob Dylan mag, sollte sich den Film allein schon aus diesem Grund ansehen.
2. Wer Bob Dylan nicht mag oder nicht kennt, sollte diesen Film aus genau diesem Grund auch sehen und vom Gegenteil überzeugt werden oder Bob Dylan kennenlernen, so wie ich. Dieser Film ist voll mit genialen Schauspielern, mit wundervoller Musik, interessanten Dialogen, Gedichten und Zitaten.

Der Film ist wie ein Puzzle, das zusammengesetzt werden muss. Ja, es ist chaotisch, doch wenn man es nicht gleich beim ersten Mal versteht, muss man ihn ein zweites Mal sehen. I'm Not There ist zu einem meiner Lieblingsfilme geworden und ich hab ihn sicher schon 20 Mal gesehen, weil ich ihn allen meinen Freunden zeigen wollte.
Ich habe auch andere Rezensionen hier gelesen und mich gewundert, warum es so viele miese Bewertungen gab, als ich dann aber gesehen habe, dass einige nicht einmal "Dylan" richtig schreiben können, ist mir einiges klar geworden.
Wer auf der Suche nach einer Komödie oder einem unterhaltsamen Actionfilm ist, hat bei I'm Not There eindeutig daneben gegriffen.
Wer auf der Suche nach einem tiefgründigen Film ist, der einen aus seiner Lethargie aufweckt und einen neuen Lebenssinn gibt, der kann hier fündig werden, aber nur, wenn man sich auf die Geschichte einlässt. I'm Not There ist keinesfalls sinnlos, auch, wenn es auf den ersten Blick so erscheint.
"Ich akzeptiere das Chaos. Ich weiß aber nicht, ob es mich akzeptiert," ist ein Satz, den Ben Whishaw als Arthur Rimbaud, einer der Bob Dylan Charaktere sagt. Der Film ist chaotisch. Und man muss es in diesem Fall einfach hinnehmen. I'm Not There hat keine klaren Strukturen, und wer sich fragt, warum hinter Richard Gere auf einmal eine Giraffe auftaucht, soll darüber lächeln - oder einfach besser zuhören.
Zu sagen wäre noch, dass dies keine 100% korrekte Dylan Biografie ist, aber das verrät ja schon der Trailer. Viele Dinge sind übertrieben, oder nie passiert. Es kann also keiner behaupten, er wäre nicht gewarnt worden.

Wer die englische Sprache beherrscht, sollte sich den Film auf jeden Fall im Original ansehen, denn ehrlich gesagt, habe ich bei der deutschen Version an manchen Stelle auch nicht verstanden, worum es geht. Aber das liegt dann wohl an der mangelhaften Übersetzung. Cate Blanchett verstellt im Original ihre Stimme perfekt. Allgemein ist ihre schauspielerische Leistung in I'm Not There grandios. Außerdem habe ich mich bei der deutschen Fassung gefragt, wo den Charlotte Gainsbourg's französischer Akzent ist, der in der Café Szene erwähnt wird. Der ist nämlich in der deutschen Synchronisation nicht vorhanden. Diese kleinen Fehler wären der einzige Grund, nur vier Sterne zu geben. Aber zum Glück gibt's ja auf der DVD die englische Tonspur.

Alles in allem ein wundervoller Film. Die negativen Bewertungen sind für mich nicht nachvollziehbar.
