Timothée Chalamet-starrer A Complete Unknown delves into the life of legendary singer Bob Dylan. Directed by James Mangold, the film explores the singer's early years and delves into his story from a visionary to vagabond. After its successful run in the global theatres, the film is set to hit the Indian screens on February 28, 2025. Oscar-nominated for Best Picture, A Complete Unknown is not your conventional biopic, in fact, James focuses on a transformative four-year period in Dylan’s life, portraying his ascent from an obscure folk artist to a revolutionary figure who reshaped the music landscape.

Opening up about the unconventional approach, Mangold says, "This is a story about a specific moment in a person’s life, not their whole life. And it is about a world where so much is communicated with song." He sought to capture the essence of Dylan's artistic journey, emphasizing his relationship with the cultural and musical movements of the early 1960s. The film unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, with the civil rights movement, anti-war activism, and countercultural shifts setting the stage for Dylan’s rise. Mangold avoids a rigid, linear narrative, opting instead for a fluid, character-driven story that mirrors the unpredictable and enigmatic nature of Dylan himself.
