James Mangold’s excellent biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” chronicles Bob Dylan’s (Timothée Chalamet) arrival in New York in 1961 and his burgeoning success to his electrifying performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
The film, adapted by from Elijah Wald’s book, “Dylan Goes Electric!” by Mangold and Jay Cocks, is full of musicians and musical performances. “A Complete Unknown” captures the heady days of the folk scene with affection but also a clear-eyed look at how the times, they are a-changin’.
