It might at first seem obvious why filmmakers won’t leave the subject of Bob Dylan alone. Search “Dylan” and “movies,” and the list — from documentaries like “Don’t Look Back” (1967) to fictionalized treatments like “I’m Not There” (2007) — turns out to be surprisingly extensive.

Bob Dylan's The Very Best Of compilation is soaring on the charts after the success of A Complete Unknown, and it even gives the rocker a new top 10 hit.

Bob Dylan is an enigma. Despite being a towering force of American culture, he has always defied easy interpretation, too slippery to fit into categories or expectations. So, do we really need a Bob Dylan musical biopic?

Bob Dylan arrived in New York City at 19 in 1961. In A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet plays Dylan during his emergence from obscurity.

"A Complete Unknown," the biopic chronicling the swift pop-cultural ascent of Minnesota native Bob Dylan in the early 1960s, has been nominated for eight Academy Awards.

Timothée Chalamet was the first actor to be a host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live." It's the latest stunt to promote "A Complete Unknown" to fans and the Academy Awards panel, alike.
