I'm Not There on DVD
About the Film:

Exploring the multidimensional nature and shifting personae of revered musician Bob Dylan - from the public to the private to the fantastical -
I'M NOT THERE debuts on DVD on May 6th from Genius Products and
The Weinstein Company. Featuring the Oscar nominated and Golden Globe winning performance by Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, The Aviator), I'M NOT THERE weaves together a daring and complex narrative of an ever-elusive American icon. Garnering three awards at the 2007 Venice Film Festival, including Special Jury Prize and Best Actress, Cate Blanchett, I'M NOT THERE was recently awarded the honorary Robert Altman Award at the 2008 Spirit Awards.

Academy Award nominated director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) dramatizes the complexities of this gifted artist's protean existence while giving imaginative shape to the various aspects of both his life and work. I'M NOT THERE features an all-star cast with six actors each portraying a different aspect of Bob Dylan including Blanchett, Christian Bale (Rescue Dawn), Richard Gere (Chicago), the late Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) as well as Ben Whishaw (Layer Cake) and Marcus Carl Franklin ("Law & Order"). Also featuring a stellar supporting cast including Julianne Moore (Children of Men) and Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain), I'M NOT THERE skillfully combines a biographical tale with ponderous metaphors and legendary myths.

Presenting a versatile and creative use of Dylan's music, only Franklin performs his song with his own voice, the rest of the soundtrack mixes original Dylan recordings with existing covers, including new versions by a variety of musicians including Ritchie Havens, Iggy Pop, John Doe and Sonic Youth, among others. The I'M NOT THERE DVD includes nine deleted scenes, a conversation with Todd Haynes and much more (see below for details).

His records have earned Grammy , Golden Globe , and Academy Awards , and he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Review:
By: Kristyn
If you are trying to learn anything about Bob Dylan, the man, then this film is definitely not the best place to start, however if you would like two hours of information about Bob Dylan the enigma and legend, this film is chock full. The film takes an experimental look at breaking down all of the elements of Bob Dylan's life story and allowing the audience to piece them back together to create a whole person. The only problem with the film is that you can not take those pieces away very easily and the whole story seems to be a bit far-fetched.

Director Todd Haynes uses six different actors to play these embodiments of Dylan's character, with a stand-out performance by Cate Blanchett, whose screen presence keeps this film alive each time I was about ready to walk away. This film will definitely leave viewers wondering what in the world they are supposed to be taking away and I am not sure that I have gained any deeper understanding of Dylan's psyche. Prop's to Todd Haynes for tackling a very difficult project and succeeding with a mostly well put together film, I am just thinking that he took the experimental artiness bit to the extreme.
