A Complete Unknown is a stunning biopic of one of music’s great enigmas. In 1961, an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar and forges relationships with musical icons on his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that reverberates around the world.

Dylan is famously secretive about his private life so how much of the film is true is anyone’s guess, but it doesn’t stop it from being a fantastic watch for fans and non fans alike. Timothée Chalamet puts in a fantastic performance as Dylan and is supported by a fine cast, especially Edward Norton as folk legend Pete Seeger.

We’re showing this nostalgic film at one of our most historic venues, the Carnegie Library Hub where they and Wild + Lees will be selling drinks and snacks.
