A COMPLETE UNKNOWN (2024) – AFI Movie Club

Directed by James Mangold and featuring assistant art direction from Benjamin Cox (AFI Class of 2014), A COMPLETE UNKNOWN (2024) was honored with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image. According to the official rationale, “A COMPLETE UNKNOWN enters the American cinematic songbook through the mind and music of Bob Dylan. At the heart and soul of James Mangold’s time capsule stands Timothée Chalamet, whose embodiment of Dylan’s superhuman genius – and his human frailties – brings electric life to an iconic enigma. Explosive inner conflicts are grounded in the masterful supporting performances of Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning, each of whom answer the question with their eyes – ‘How does it feel…to be on your own?’”
