A Complete Unknown - Top 10 Best Movies That Will Shake Up the Oscars in 2025 That You Should Watch.

A Complete Unknown is a biographical drama film that revolves around the turning point in the career of Bob Dylan, one of the greatest musical icons of the 20th century. Rather than a comprehensive biography, the film focuses on the year 1965, when Dylan abandoned his traditional folk artist image to turn to electronic rock music - a bold decision that shocked the fan community and completely changed the contemporary music landscape.

The central character is a young Bob Dylan, played by Timothée Chalamet, in a performance that was praised by critics as excellent and profound. The film recreates Dylan's internal conflicts: between art and fame, between innovation and loyalty to his roots, between the individual and the expectations of society. Parallel to his musical journey, the film also depicts the important relationships that shaped him, such as with Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and music producer Tom Wilson.

Directed by James Mangold – who made his mark with Walk the Line and Ford v Ferrari, A Complete Unknown is not only a story about an artist but also an emotional ballad about the transformation of America in the 1960s – a period of chaos, rebellion and desire for change.

The special feature of the film is that Timothée Chalamet himself performs Bob Dylan's songs, contributing to the authenticity and emotional depth of the work.
