The many phases of a certain folk singer born, Robert Allen Zimmerman, are splashed across the scene with each showing a different side of the mercurial singer and poet. Some a direct slice out of his life while others are glimpses of his alter-egos. The fact that these glimpses and slices are brought to life by Christian Bale, Richard Gere and Heath Ledger just makes it extra special. To top it all Cate Blanchett comes on and adds something bloody magical to the proceedings. The film rambles on with a kind of meandering narrative that fits like a glove for a Dylan biography. Never has his life been presented so craftily on any medium. A must watch for all Dylan fans.
