I’m Not There (2008)
Centered Around the Actions of: Bob Dylan
Main Actor: Cate Blanchett (among others)
Film Cost: $20 million*
Main Actor Income: $2 million*
Using an unorthodox style, I’m Not There illustrates the colorful life of legendary music artist Bob Dylan with a mixture of fascinating methods and actors. Incredibly, Cate Blanchett brings Dylan’s post-electric period to life. More of his life phases are characterized by Richard Gere, Ben Whishaw, Christian Bale, Marcus Carl Franklin, and Heath Ledger.
Im Not There
This movie avoids the use of narrative, with a very experimental flair that evades even mentioning Dylan until the final credits rolls. The legend himself does appear in the movie, but the footage is taken from a show he performed in 1966. This film was universally applauded, netting Blanchett an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe
