Writer-director Todd Haynes has come up with the most interesting psycho-cultural-biographical mix in memory here, managing to make the film reek of the artsy 60s at the same time it unfailingly honors its subject. Despite its inventive setup, it lacks a coherent narrative. I’m Not There dvd Trailer Exactly as weird, deep, nonsensical, rambling and wheezy as Dylans music. Haynes could have cut his movie in half, then reordered the scenes at random, and what hed have would be no less cohesive than the product as it stands. There are those who will applaud what Haynes and his actors have accomplished, and I can understand its appeal on an intellectual level. But I am not a supporter of film without form or art without structure. By mirroring Dylans concepts with his music and avoiding both the biographical route and the songs-tell-a-story route, Haynes creates the most provocative, electric examination of an artist in years. A feast for the eyes, the ears and the Dylanologist scratching around our minds and hearts.
