Two great achievements by Todd Haynes here.  One is that he makes a fresh and stimulating biography that keeps you alert looking for references and working out which sides of Dylan the sick different actors play.  Two, is that it answers the question of how to do a biopic of someone so complex as Dylan.  You may not like it all but he manages something quite special.  I am not sure it is a great film but it is memorable and worthy.  Cate Blanchett http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/3267/imnotthere1wm0.jpgand Christian Bale are my favourite Dylans, there is an accomplished supporting role by Charlotte Gainsbourg as his French wife.  Maybe a bit long in the end but definitely worth a look.
