Idiosyncratic indie director Todd Haynes (Velvet Goldmine) turns the rock biopic formula inside out for this journey through the multi-faceted world of Bob Dylan - a shapeshifting legend who has striven his whole career to avoid categorisation. So to capture this elusive spirit, we are presented with six "different" Dylans, each representing a different phase of his varied career. They might not take his name, but everyone from a 10 year-old boy (Marcus Carl Franklin) to Cate Blanchett and Richard Gere steps into Dylan's shoes. Each section intersects with the others drifting back and forth in time, to the nimble timbre of the singer's more obscure songs.
