James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown follows the formative years of Bob Dylan from teen folk artist to rock star. The writer/director tells Screen about the film’s own five-year journey. James Mangold recalls being “instantly and insatiably hooked by the possibilities” when he found the project that would eventually become A Complete Unknown.

The new Bob Dylan film "A Complete Unknown" from James Mangold blurs the lines between fact and fiction. And do you know what? That's what makes this movie fun.

Despite his somewhat negative encounter with the Blowin’ In The Wind singer, Young continued to praise the film, which stars Timothée Chalamet as a young Dylan, “This movie is a great tribute to his life and music. I think if you love Bob’s music you should see this great movie. I loved it.”
