The way i see it, everyone who does carry the slightest affection for America must be at some point mesmerized by the Dylan case. Especially if music magnifies their life, like it does mine. I started listening to Dylan at a 'late' age, compared to those who have the luxury to master English at an early one. I started to appreciate American poetry and its wit quite honestly with a Bob Dylan song, and i never stopped listening ever since. The character as a whole is fascinating to me, far beyond the words and the chords and this movie freshly out for the holidays couldn't be more of a reverence to the Master. Even though i felt like the man is still alive and shouldn't be talked about like he isn't, i found the film profoundly touching and well made; 6 different fiction characters all embody a different stage of Dylan's life (till nowadays). An impressive outcome, for a quite ambitious project.

Il y a quelques annees, lorsque j'ai vraiment commence a comprendre l'anglais, je me suis mise a ecouter Dylan, sa poesie, sa maitrise des mots, son harmonica, et puis cette voix troublante... Il fait partie de cette intelligence que l'on accorde trop peu a la culture americaine, cette espece de liberte arogante que l'on envie presque tous en secret, parcequ'il vit ce qu'il ecrit avec une rare integrite. Je suis la premiere a vouloir defendre ce cote de l'amerique, aussi fascinant que le dernier film hommage a ce musicien/poete de genie. I'm not there est une fiction, parfois tournee comme un documentaire, interpretee par 6 personnages qui incarnent chacun une periode differente de la vie de Dylan. Un film ambitieux a ne pas manquer si, comme pour moi, ce personnage icone de la culture musicale sucite un elan de curiosite emerveillee.
