About the film:
New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music.
Based on the 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric by Elijah Wald. With an all-star cast featuring Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo (Suze Rotolo inspired), Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, and more.
“My attraction became instantly to this idea of a talent like Bob, so vexing, so provocative, so filled with fiction and fact. This idea of this incredible, artistic character landing in New York with 12 dollars in his pocket — trying to thread the needle of how one goes from there to there is so interesting to me.”
