Tagline
Ruminations on the life of Bob Dylan, where six characters embody a different aspect of the musician's life and work.
Plot Summary
The film has received much press for telling its story using non-traditional techniques, similar to the poetic narrative style of Dylan's songwriting. "The film is going to be inspired by Dylan's music and his ability to re-create and re-imagine himself time and time again," according to key producer, Christine Vachon.
The title I'm Not There is a reference to the Dylan outtake recorded during The Basement Tapes (Sessions). It was not included in the studio album The Basement Tapes and, for years, could only be found on the CD bootleg set The Genuine Basement Tapes and the later remastered version (still considered a bootleg) of that set A Tree With Roots. I'm Not There is one of the most famous and highly regarded outtakes, not just of the Basement Tapes, but of Dylan’s whole career. It was never officially released until it appeared on the film’s official soundtrack album.

There have been a couple of documentaries about Bob Dylan that have become the gold standard for not only telling his story, but for music documentaries in general. Don’t Look Back and No Direction Home are both pretty well unassailable, so how do you make a narrative film that can ... read more
