‘A Complete Unknown’ New Trailer: Timothée Chalamet Sings ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ as Bob Dylan Goes Electric
variety.comEthan Shanfeld Timothée Chalamet showed off more of his singing chops in the new trailer for “A Complete Unknown,” James Mangold’s bio-drama about Bob Dylan.
The new footage shows Chalamet singing “Girl From the North Country” as he arrives in New York from Minnesota. He begins to cozy up to fellow folk singer Joan Baez (played by Monica Barbaro) as the two spark a romance. “Your songs are like an oil painting at the dentist’s office,” he tells her, clutching a guitar while shirtless in bed.
At the kitchen sink, Baez responds, “You’re kind of an asshole, Bob.” The trailer also features footage of Dylan and Baez duetting at the 1963 Monterey Folk Festival.
A love triangle brews as Elle Fanning arrives as Sylvie Russo, a fictionalized version of Dylan’s then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo, who appears on the album cover of “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.” As Dylan becomes more frustrated with being pigeonholed as the voice behind “Blowin’ in the Wind,” he changes everything by strapping on an electric guitar with “Like a Rolling Stone.” Brawls break out as half of Dylan’s fans marvel at the new direction and half view him as a traitor to folk music.
