Cannes Venice Candidate?: I’m Not There

Date:

If there is one film this year that deserves to been amongst the offerings at this year’s highly special Cannes edition it is the highly anticipated “morphed biopic” on legendary figure Bob Dylan. No stranger to the festival, filmmaker Todd Haynes was honored with the prize for Best Artistic Contribution for Velvet Goldmine (98’) and his masterpiece Safe was showcased as part of CannesSection parallèle.

In what should be a trippy meditation on the folksinger’s life in the spotlight and behind the scenes, and an out of the ordinary usage of what we have come to understand as your typical film protagonist. Ranging in ages, race and gender –
Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger , Christian Bale , Ben Whishaw  and Cate Blanchett (featured in the pic above) play Dylan. Imagine what the poster artwork might look like.
