I'm not there

after the almost traditional, linear Far From Heaven, Todd Haynes returns to his experimental roots to create this collage of ideas about Bob Dylan. I have the feeling it is meant for hardcore Dylan fans - having no reference for the events portrayed, I could only wonder if I was missing something, or it was just missing. I enjoyed watching the vignettes, but two and a half hours without a story line can be a bit much, unless you're prepared. Cate Blanchett is indeed brilliant but none of the other Dylans stand out. Charlotte Gainsbourg is fantastic as always and it's always lovely to see Julianne Moore.
