I'm Not There is a 2007 musical
drama film directed by Todd Haynes, and co-written by Haynes and Oren Moverman.
It is an unconventional biographical film inspired by the life and music of
American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Six actors depict different facets of
Dylan's public personas: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin,
Richard Gere, Heath Ledger (his final film to be released during his lifetime),
and Ben Whishaw. A caption at the start of the film declares it to be
"inspired by the music and the many lives of Bob Dylan"; this is the
only mention of Dylan in the film apart from song credits, and his only
appearance in it is concert footage from 1966 shown during the film's final
moments.
The film tells its story using
non-traditional narrative techniques, intercutting the storylines of seven
different Dylan-inspired characters. The title of the film is taken from the
1967 Dylan Basement Tape recording of "I'm Not There", a song that
had not been officially released until it appeared on the film's soundtrack
album. The film received a generally favorable response, and appeared on
several top ten films lists for 2007, topping the lists for The Village Voice,
Entertainment Weekly, Salon and The Boston Globe. Particular praise went to
Cate Blanchett for her performance, culminating in a Volpi Cup for Best Actress
from the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting
Actress, along with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination.
