I'm Not There

"Inspired" by Bob Dylan, "I'm Not There" is a little out there, but if you like that in Bobby, you'll like this movie, too. Six different actors play different personas of Dylan, not playing him specifically. This is definitely not a biopic. Cate Blanchett got all the publicity but it was deserved. Her part, the Heath Ledger/Charlotte Gainsborough storyline, and the Christian Bale part were the best. I liked the movie because it was different from most of what's out there but still moved fast for an art-house type movie (Todd Haynes "Far From Heaven" is the director). This is definitely one I want (need) to watch again. You'll like "I'm Not There" if you liked "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or maybe "Full Frontal." *****
