As a seasoned movie critic who has been enthralled by the silver screen for the better part of four decades, I can confidently say that Timothée Chalamet’s performance in “A Complete Unknown” is nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to portray the enigmatic and iconic figure that is Bob Dylan is a testament to his versatility as an actor.
I didn’t skyrocket to fame overnight, but my recurring role on the TV series “Homeland” provided a solid foundation for me as an up-and-coming actor. The year 2017 proved to be a breakout period for me with roles in Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” and as the romantic lead in “Call Me by Your Name,” alongside Armie Hammer, who made quite a splash too. In the subsequent years, I added more film credits to my name, including “Beautiful Boy” with Steve Carell and one of the leads in Woody Allen’s “A Rainy Day in New York,” where I worked alongside Elle Fanning, my co-star from “A Complete Unknown.
Currently, Timothée Chalamet is a renowned figure worldwide, famously known as Paul Atreides, or the Muad’Dib, from Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies. Moreover, he has been likened to modern-day Willy Wonka due to his exceptional portrayal in the 2023 Warner Bros. film. Lastly, the Academy Award nominee (for Best Actor in Call Me by Your Name) Chalamet will take on the role of music legend Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
Timothée Chalamet Shows Off His ‘Acting Brilliance’ in A Complete Unknown
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but get excited about Timothée Chalamet stepping up to the ping pong table, ready to embody Marty Reisman in James Mangold’s upcoming film. This captivating actor, known for his roles in ‘Dune’ and ‘Wonka’, will bring Bob Dylan’s life from 1961 to 1965 to the big screen in a movie titled, ‘A Complete Unknown’. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mangold had nothing but praise for Chalamet, his 28-year-old lead. The director expressed his admiration, saying:
It seems to me that he strikes a remarkable balance, showcasing the delight his character takes in creating music and the joy he experiences through collaboration with fellow musicians, as well as his enthusiasm for discovering new concepts, lyrics, melodies, and sounds – whether he’s composing or enjoying others’ works.
In a unique and significant manner, Timmy demonstrates an almost instinctual unease with the consequences of his remarkable accomplishments, such as dealing with people’s expectations, transactional interactions, or relationships affected by his significant power and ability.
During the same interview, Mangold, who’s been nominated for two Academy Awards (for Best Adapted Screenplay in “Logan” and Best Picture in “Ford v Ferrari”), went on to discuss Chalamet.
“Timmy beautifully transforms his character from a 19-year-old carnival worker into an iconic figure we know. He skillfully guides us along this journey. Although it might not be evident in trailers, teasers, or photos, the development of this character showcases a remarkable acting talent in my view.
It’s reasonable to predict that Chalamet’s performance in A Complete Unknown, given his already acclaimed singing voice by Dylan experts, will generate a lot of Oscar buzz when the film premieres in theaters this Christmas Day. Notably, the biographical drama also stars Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, both legendary musicians.
