I'm Not There: Deconstructing Dylan


A film I am looking forward to seeing is Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There: Deconstructing Dylan"

I think Bob Dylan is a true institution and I would watch any film that had anything to do with him. However, another reason why I cannot wait to watch this new film is the fact that Cate Blanchett is one of the six actors who portrays Dylan.

Even though Richard Schickel gave Haynes' film a stingy review on the NY Times, I will still see it.

After all, it's not every day that the very talented Cate Blanchett plays a man on the silver screen.

I'm sure she will be more convincing than Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria.

Kate Blanchett is usually very good. One of her best performance, in my opinion, is her dual role in Coffee & Cigarettes.
I think the release date depends on the city one's in.

most reviews are saying Blanchett looks nothing like Dylan.....

Right. I read that too. I still want to see it though. Few people liked Martin Brest's Meet Joe Black but that didn't stop it from being one of my all-time favorite films!
