Filmmakers capture New York's grit in Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan biopic

Timothée Chalamet stars as Bob Dylan in the biopic "A Complete Unknown," directed by James Mangold. The film explores Dylan's journey from Minnesota to New York, inspired by his desire to connect with folk legend Woody Guthrie. Cinematographer Phedon Papamichael used vintage anamorphic lenses to capture the gritty essence of New York. This approach creates an intimate feel while keeping the character connected to his surroundings, drawing inspiration from photographer William Eggleston. The film's color palette evolves with Dylan's career. As he transitions to electric music, the visuals become more vibrant, reflecting his changing identity and relationships throughout the story.
