| Abstract | "This title belongs to the 21st Century Film Essentials list. Famed queer filmmaker Todd Haynes' "biopic" of Bob Dylan, I'm Not There, caused a stir when released in 2007. Not only had Dylan, notoriously resistant to such treatments of his life, given his approval to this one, but the character of Bob Dylan, under different names, was played by six different actors -- Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Richard Gere, Ben Whishaw, Marcus Carl Franklin (a young Black boy), and perhaps most notably Cate Blanchett (in an Oscar-nominated performance) -- representing different elements of Dylan's persona in different stages of his life. Non-linear and highly referential, I'm Not There also used Dylan's own music as a score, another triumph for Haynes given the troubles he had had in using, or trying to use, the music of the Carpenters (Superstar) and David Bowie (Velvet Goldmine) in the past. Tsika, an expert in queer cinema, explores this understudied film from its beginnings to its reception and afterlife"-- Provided by publisher. |
