The musical biopic has been all the rage in recent years, so much so that there has already been a fairly decent parody of the genre, Walk Hard. Writer/director Todd Haynes decided that iconic singer/songwriter Bob Dylan would be less well served by a straightforward linear retelling of his life story. Haynes, instead, puts together a film about Dylan in the style of a Dylan song; poetic, time shifting,...
I saw the ToddHaynes movie last night called "I'm Not There" with eight different actors and actresses expertly weaving together and apart the many myths, legends, facts and fairy tales from the Bob Dylan era of the last 40 years. I will be there at Ashford Manor Bed and Breakfast for this show Monday evening, and while it might not be as packed or as popular as the recent Abbey Road...
I sat through a second viewing of most of ToddHaynes' Dylan biopic, I'm Not There , last night, until it got too late for me to stay awake. Great, imaginative film, but so incredibly inside that I wonder if anyone but absolute true-blue Dylan fanatics would really, completely get it. Or enjoy it as much -- because a lot of the enjoyment depends on how much you know about him and his...
Generally, an ensemble cast interacts, drifting and rushing into each other’s lives even for just a glance. In I’m Not There, ToddHaynes and co-writer Oren Moverman, using six (maybe seven) characters that never meet but always collaborate, create about as personal of a portrait of Bob Dylan one can get without uttering the name Bob Dylan. The streets of I’m Not There (which takes its...
... is politics. McPhillips is part of an influential Portland creative crowd, including filmmaker ToddHaynes, that supports the pistol-sized candidate gunning for Congress, Democrat Steve Novick. Considering his ancestors have always been progressives, that's not a surprise. The blue-blooded McPhillips clan arrived here pre-statehood to start one of Oregon's first banks. His grandfather,...
This past Tuesday, ToddHaynes' film inspired by the music and many lives of Bob Dylan,
I'm Not There
, was released on DVD and I got a chance to relive the excellent experiment in narrative filmmaking. Not to mention a couple of hours of Dylan songs. Most of us know Dylan as everyone knows Dylan, as the freewheeling young man singing songs of protest and rock and roll, but for...
ToddHaynes’ strange and wonderful Bob Dylan essay film I’m Not There earned critical accolades and an Oscar nomination for Cate Blanchett. The film hits stores this week on a two disc DVD full of deleted scenes, alternate takes, audition tapes, commentaries and a tribute to star Heath Ledger. Click above to check out the [...]
This isn't the first time we've ragged on I'm Not There , ToddHaynes' all-star rumination on all things Dylan, but as it's just been released on DVD and I haven't seen much of a critical backlash, I figured its nose deserves another tweak. The New York Times felt Haynes threw "a Molotov cocktail through the facade of the Hollywood biopic factory" by willfully screwing with the...
Her association with Locarno dates back to 1991 when ToddHaynes’ provocative first feature “Poison,” marking the start of their longstanding collaboration, unspooled at the Swiss lakeside fest dedicated to worldwide art cinema.

Tell me more about this NAMBLA, Allen. | Photo courtesy of The Weinstein Company I wasn't completely sold on the idea of having so many different actors portray Bob Dylan in I'm Out There . I certainly respect the audacious choice by director ToddHaynes, but I think I admired the film more than I actually liked it. It's definitely worth a rental, though, if only to see three of our...
