“We have never arrived. We are in a constant state of becoming.”

—Bob Dylan, American singer-songwriter

Recently, I took a Sunday afternoon the see “A Complete Unknown” — the movie about Bob Dylan’s early career from 1961-1965.  Although the film blended fact with a good amount of creative interpretation, I found it entertained a bit more than if it had been a pure documentary.

The film made a point of highlighting intimate moments of Dylan’s life between his performances, taking a look below his public persona to help the viewer see his evolution as both a person and artist with something to say.

In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature for having created new poetic expressions within his craft.  The Swedish academy felt strongly that his work transcended the boundaries between music and poetry.
