A Complete Unknown

A Complete Unknown (2025.4, Off-the Record, Great Music)

A Complete Unknown is a biopic about Bob Dylan’s early career, focusing on his relationships with women like Joan Baez and Sylvie Russo, and his musical influences like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Johnny Cash.

Ultimately, the movie is an artistic interpretation of Dylan’s life, not a documentary.
