I saw A Complete Unknown on Friday evening. I thought it was great, and Chamalet was great as Dylan. But I’ve been a life-long fan. Was the movie entirely factually accurate? Hell no. But then again, Dylan has bullshitted so much about his own background, I thought the movie subtlety winked at the untruths. I was one of six people in the theater. I don’t know how theaters stay in business. But that is another issue. Chamalet is on SNL this weekend as host and musical guest. I’m hoping that Dylan makes a guest appearance and joins him.

So I went home after the movie and I had to watch (again) No Direction Home. It covered a lot of the same ground in a different format. It is also very good.
