Finding Gold on The Independent Film Channel

Finding Gold on The Independent Film Channel

I just saw a film on an a television channel that specializes in Independent, off beat, didn't quite make it films. It was made in 2003 and is called Masked and Anonymous. I'd neither seen nor heard of it. It was directed, produced and written by Larry Charles, who penned the first five seasons of the Seinfield sitcom. Bob Dylan co-authored the script under the pseudonym "Sergei Petrov." I have no idea why Dylan, who also was the central character and star, used a pseudonym.

According to Wikipedia the people's encyclopedia, the film was funded by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and filmed in 20 days.

Despite the the obvious low priority and short shooting schedule, here is a partial list some of actors who have commanded millions for roles they've played, who signed on to work for union scale . The current Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) daily rate, is $880; and the weekly rate is $3,280. Here are some you will probably recognize: John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Penélope Cruz, Val Kilmer, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Lange, Luke Wilson, Angela Bassett, Bruce Dern, Cheech Marin, Ed Harris; Christian Slater and Fred Ward.

Let's face it, the opportunity to work with a living legend like Bob Dylan doesn't come along every day, even for stars to work for what was minimum wage to them, just to be a part of it.

Masked and Anonymous is set in an undated future world in which chaos and a dictatorial, third world type government reign. Dylan plays a washed up but legendary music icon, Jack Fate, who is obviously supposed to be Dylan himself. Fate is the estranged son of the the President/Dictator of the United States is in prison when the film begins.

Fate is sprung from prison by Uncle Sweetheart (John Goodman) -- a shady concert promoter -- to be featured in, a giant charity concert, with which the desperate promoter plans to pay off his own debts. Goodman's character is being pursued by criminal types to whom he owes a lot of money. He. has described the concert as "something that will be bigger than Woodstock."

It seems that this film is mostly a platform for Bob Dylan's music, politics and philosophy, and that's all right with me. Not an actor, the former Robert Zimmerman still manages to deliver his lines and voice-overs in an acceptable, though somewhat monotone voice and the actors working for scale seem to try no less harder than if they were starring in a film based on a Nobel Prize winning novel.

Goodman plays as the blowhard con man who will say anything to make the concert a success, is very believable; Val Kilmer gave an exceptional performance as a hippy-like prophet who loves animals and hates people; the always beautiful Jessica Lange, plays an aging former world famous actress, working as a go-between manager is superb as usual -- implementing orders from the unidentified criminal syndicate bosses through Goodmans's character, who must in turn persuade Fate to go along with the orders disguised as "requests;" Christian Slater is outstanding as a philosophical stagehand, watching and commenting on the often chaotic situation.

Last but not least, Mickey Rourke Plays, Edmund, a sort of foster brother to Dylan's character, who says to the music legend at one point: "I'm the man your father always wanted you to be."

I will not give a way any more of the rice paper thin plot or the ending. As an example of cinematic art, most critics gave it a violent thumbs down, but I'm not a cinematic critic. If you came of age in the sixties, saw Woodstock as an almost religious event -- and especially if you are a Bob Dylan fan -- you need to watch this film. I just ordered it on CD for a few dollars and I generally don't collect films or CDs. It can also be downloaded directly for immediate viewing.

This film is worth seeing, especially if you fit the criteria of an aging Dylan fan who came of age in the 1960s, or a student of the music of that era. Here are a few quotes from Masked and Anonymous:

Bob Dylan Rising

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2005

Director Larry Charles works a lot on HBO producing and writing comedy. This film was a pet project for him, and somehow he recruited a plethora of excellent people to be involved in what became a clunky movie. It is a very dark Sci-Fi/Musical/Adventure/Comedy. It is part political allegory, and part fairy tale--with a healthy dash of rock video for zest.

Bob Dylan is the pivotal character, and gets the most screen time. I can't get over how much he is looking like a short Vincent Price these days, what with his thin haggard face and pencil thin goatee. Dylan is getting a lot of press these days, since Martin Scorsese released the new documentary on him--shown first on PBS, and released immediately in DVD.

The world of the near distant future seems to be a mess--rife with revolution and anarchy. The president of the US, who looks like a Central American dictator reject, is dying of a social disease secondary to his pedophilia. Bob Dylan is supposed to be his prodigal son--who once had a career as protest rock star (some stretch for Dylan), and who has been cooling his heels in a filthy prison as a political prisoner.

The film swarms with big stars doing cameos and small roles. It is the kind of independent small film that might have been a real classic, but has ended up a poorly edited mish-mash. Yet, having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if some day it reached a kind of cult status for its use of Bob Dylan and all those stars--kind of a grand and noble close call to greatness--a film almost impossible to fully comprehend--a plot almost too silly to reflect. Yet a movie that stays with you, irritating your intellect.

John Goodman rants and raves as a sleezy con man promoter. Jessica Lange looks great as his producer partner, although her dialogue makes very little sense. Giovanni Ribissi had a nice scene as a burned out freedom fighter. Jeff Bridges plays a burned out alcoholic reporter, who carries a gun, and gets beat up a lot--after spouting divers non-sequiters and poetry. Penelope Cruz wanders about lost as his religious zealot, ex-whore girlfriend--crossing herself hundreds of times just prior to and following all the scenes she is in. Mickey Rourke plays a gangster White House Chief of Staff, who takes over the country once the President dies. He is supposed to be a childhood friend of Dylan's--a foundling that El Presidente raised and kept beside him. Christian Slater and Chris Penn play philosophizing stage hands who do a poor imitation of a Greek Chorus--and mostly stand around with their arms crossed, looking perplexed.

But Bob Dylan is the focus--if there is one. He and his band perform 8 or 10 songs, and it is fun to watch him and listen to him--although he mumbles so much half of the lyrics are lost--even to the engineers who struggled to make them audible. This film will entertain you, and perplex you. I liked it, even though it played out like a rough cut, and the religious existential apocalyptic images do not mesh well. Give it a look for yourself.

Great, bizzaro movie, just like Bob’s music. Loaded with big stars. Some in cameo parts. I love it! Had it in DVD and upgraded to BLURAY. Highly recommend for any Bob fan and for anyone that might want to be. John Goodman and Val Kilmer are both excellent in movie. Bob is Bob, low key allowing the other stars to take precedent.

Mysterious

Bobcats will love this. They are a hardy bunch and will be prepared to stick with this often inscrutable, sometimes bizarre film. Although co-written by Dylan (under a hopeless pseudonym) it is no mere vanity project and features a truly great cast. While John Goodman, Val Kilmer, Jeff Bridges and Penelope Cruz do their best to not act Bob off the screen, he does a good job of lending wisdom and mystery to the ageing character of Jack Fate. Fate has to play one last benefit concert for the victims of post revolutionary America, which looks just like Dylan's Desolation Row. The entire film weaves dream like images around some great song performances from Bob and his band. It's like being lost in some of your favourite Dylan albums. There is little plot to speak of, rather an almost non-linear sequence of scenes recalling nothing less than an Empire burlesque and a World Gone Wrong. It doesn't reveal any obvious truths about Dylan, it's not autobiographical, and it's certainly not an easy view. However, it is witty and deeply human in places, and there are snatches of dialogue worthy of the best Dylan lines. This should be seen, not just by Dylan fans, but by fans of brave and individual cinema making.

Is this a disturbing potentially prophetic film or merely a desultory cinematographic representation of a deranged (albeit genius) mind? Who knows? When the movie was released in 2003 it was probably considered the latter, but with recent developments in the USA, similar to the far-from-subtle satire Idiocracy, it appears that Bob Dylan’s flight of fantasy might very well be a cautionary tale as it presents a country torn by a brutal civil war ruled by a President who controls the media and ruthlessly crushes any dissent. The movie follows the derisible attempt of John Goodman’s Uncle Sweetheart to stage a one-man benefit concert staring Bob Dylan's strangely familiar ex-con Jack Fate. Many well-known actors play parts which provide insightful reflections on power, politics and religion and there are numerous vignettes which significantly stand-alone – since the overall narrative is both disjointed and unfathomable. However, despite its numerous detractors and obvious pretentious faults I really liked the quirkiness of this movie. It provides no obvious answers as there are no obvious questions. Definitely obscure but this is a film which should undoubtedly be judged through the eye of its beholder.

Nicht nur für Dylan-Fans

Reviewed in Germany on April 28, 2017

Dass der Film so stark polarisiert verwundert mich nicht, da er - ganz Dylan - mit den Regeln des Mainstream-Kinos radikal bricht. Nicht geradlinig, sondern eher collage- oder montageartig wird eine Minimalstory vor dystopischem Hintergrund erzählt. Damit funktioniert "Masked & Anonymous" ganz wie das musikalische Spätwerk Dylans von 2001 bis ca. 2012, in dem Songs aus dem Material von Literatur und Musik zusammengebaut und fortgeschrieben werden. Der Film bleibt in seiner Erzählhaltung total offen, es gibt keine moralischen Wertungen, keine auserzählten Szenen oder Handlungsstränge. Das führt dazu, dass man auch nach dem Anschauen noch viel Spaß am Weiterspinnen des Films hat. So sollte Kunst sein.

Ich will aber unbedingt noch sagen, dass es sich hier nicht um einen Dylan-Fanartikel handelt. V.a. Fans von "Brazil" oder "Naked Lunch" ist der Film ebenso zu empfehlen. Nur unbedingt im Originalton schauen, da die deutsche Synchronstimme von Dylan absolut nicht passt.

Not such a wasted opportunity

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2011

David Butler's review sums it up very well when he says: 'It tackles the big ideas, or human values on a universal scale. Nothing is less than fundamental, everything must be taken with a pinch of salt. In other words: proper human values. If you are looking for an easy ride forget it, but you can enjoy yourself along he way.' That's no mean thing. I don't understand why he gives it only two stars and a dismissive heading ('wasted opportunity'). Its a lovely film. The star is Jessica Lange. It has some wonderful corny Latin American Dylan covers. The only problem for me is the rather facile ending, everyone getting shot in the Revolution. They should instead have been liberated by bombing from a great height like the lucky people of Libya.
