Ferring Community Cinema: A Complete Unknown

Set in the influential New York City music scene of the early 1960s, “A Complete Unknown” follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s meteoric rise as a folk singer. Dylan, played by Timothèe Chalamet, arrives in NYC determined to meet his ailing idol, Woody Guthrie, who has been hospitalised. He plays a song for Guthrie and his close friend Pete Seeger that he has written for Guthrie and impresses them both. His subsequent relationships, both musical and romantic, resulted in artistic differences and caused tensions and professional frustration, culminating in his performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

 

Edward Norton and Elle Fanning star alongside Chalamet, who performs all the Bob Dylan songs in A Complete Unknown and has impressed audiences with his capturing of the “shapeshifting allure” of Dylan.
