"so full of mystery... contradictions... and chaos. Yes, it's chaos, clocks and watermelons... It's everything."
I have no idea what watching this is like without any point of reference or interest in Bob Dylan or 60s arthouse films, but I also don't care. If not for all of the footnotes needed, this would, I think, widely be considered one of the best movies of the new millennium. It's certainly one of the best movies about an artist or maybe just about artists in general or maybe about these things and history and identity, etc. There's a lot to unpack and it's deliberately messy and evasive, just like its subject. Cate Blanchett is supernaturally good in this. She seems more possessed than performing.
I'm beginning to think this film is barely about Bob Dylan. Identity seems to be a key point of question in Haynes' characters, and it's most certainly present here. "I'm Not Here" is a film about you. You're no one, yet everyone at the same time.
"I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me" - Bob Dylan
Cate Blanchett looks more like Bob Dylan than Bob Dylan looks like Bob Dylan.
It's clear from the first minutes that Todd Haynes knows it's simply impossible to actually "make a biopic" about Bob Dylan so he just said fuck it and made something that transgresses that in every way. Cate Blanchett as Bob might be the most intelligent casting decision of all time, I'm definitely feeling normal about her.
This is easily one of the most creative biopics out there. 6 different people make up 6 different perspectives on Bob Dylan and the way their stories are interwoven is brilliant. I really enjoyed all the chaos and mystery. The editing was perfect.
Also to Cate Blanchett version of Bob Dylan, I’m free anytime if you wanna hang out.
must a movie "make sense" or "have a coherent narrative arc"? is it not enough to see cate blanchett in drag?
