Among its many achievements Todd Haynes’s I’m Not There

Among its many achievements, Todd Haynes’s I’m Not There hurls a Molotov cocktail through the facade of the Hollywood biopic factory. There are those who will applaud what Haynes and his actors have accomplished, and I can understand its appeal on an intellectual level. But I am not a supporter of film without form or art without structure. I’m Not There dvd A challenging meditation on fame, creativity, on larger-than-life personality, and on whether pop culture can be ever be art, or art pop culture. Endlessly provocative Hayness warmest film yet. The thing is infused with love — not the slavish kind, but a true-eyed tribute to the artist who belongs to nobody and everybody at once. Forget the six impersonations of Bob Dylan. Ultimately, I’m Not There is all about Todd Haynes trying to be Jean-Luc Godard. Theres a lot to like: In an unexpected coup, Dylan granted Haynes the rights to his songbook so the soundtrack is a solid collection of originals and inspired covers. And Haynes has some film-geek fun aping the styles of 1960s and 70s auteurs
