A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
2025-04-26 13:30 - 15:30 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Kauai Community College Performing Arts Center, 3-1901 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI, 96766, United States
A Complete Unknown,” the biographical film about Bob Dylan, is nothing short of extraordinary. Beautifully crafted and executed, it transports you back in time, immersing you in the life, music, and story of one of the most influential artists of our time. The performances are simply exceptional. Timothée Chalamet, as Dylan, delivers a magnetic portrayal, capturing both the vulnerability and genius of the man. Not only him, but the entire cast-including Edward Norton and other pivotal characters-brings depth and nuance to their roles. Each actor seems perfectly chosen, breathing life into Dylan’s world and relationships. The music is the soul of this film, and it is masterfully performed. The songs are not just performed-they are interpreted with a heartfelt, raw beauty that resonates deeply. The renditions are authentic and emotionally stirring, blending seamlessly with the narrative. From “Blowin’ in the Wind” to “Like a Rolling Stone,” the music is a character of its own, weaving through the story with purpose and impact. The film’s structure is equally impressive, exploring not just Dylan’s music but also the historical and cultural shifts of his era. It’s as much a story of societal change as it is of Dylan’s artistic journey, showing how the two were intertwined. The attention to detail in recreating the time period-through costumes, settings, and the mood of each scene-is remarkable. Even though the runtime exceeds two hours, the film never feels slow or drawn out. The pacing is perfect, keeping you engaged from start to finish. Every scene adds layers to the story, and every performance and song feels essential.
Presented FREE for everyone compliments of AARP Hawaii.
