A must see

Damn it. This is already turning into one of those blogs that i hate. Ok so permit me a brief moment of self indulgence. I would like to suggest that the movie "I'm Not There" is a very good film that anyone intrigued by Dylan himself, the 60s, the Beat generation or folk music should see. It's sort of a bio-pic about the life of Bob Dylan. Directed by Todd Haynes, it's unique in that 7 different actors play 7 different aspects of Dylan's personality.

Actors who play Dylan include Richard Gere, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and the incomparable Cate Blanchett who plays "Jude" - a personification of Dylan's androgeny. The film is narrated by Kris Kristofferson.

Here's a clip of Blanchett as Dylan at a pivotal time in his life ... his first meeting with poet Allen Ginsberg...
