I'm Not There - Bob Dylan Revisited

Excuse my silence these last days, I've been a little bit lazy but that doesn't mean that I was staying at home doing nothing. For example, I had the chance to discover the music of Ryan Bingham one evening in one of the oldest Paris's Irish pub. I also bought - in a shop not on the web - the last Radiohead, In Rainbows. I'll try to come back later next days on those two discoveries.
To start this New Year, I want to write a little report about this amazing movie called I'm Not There (2007). I’m sure that you read a lot about it or already seen it, I hope. My opinion is that this movie directed by Todd Haynes is not a film about Bob Dylan like everyone seems to think. Dylan is never on the screen. His name never mentioned. He’s nowhere. He’s not there. See Cat Blanchett for example, she’s not him, she’s just Jude. Jude who? Hey, Jude? Judas? I don’t believe her, she’s a liar…
Seriously, I'm Not There is a nostalgic carnival, a black and white puzzle with colors, a subtle kaleidoscope of words and faces. Also a game: where, when and who. History revisited. The perfect counterpoint to Martin Scorsese’s No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. Great job Mister Haynes and Miss Blanchett you’re unbelievable!
