Over the years, Big Issue has heard plenty of Bob Dylan anecdotes from those who have known him. Here are some of the best.

First off, A Complete Unknown is a great film – very watchable. Bob Dylan obsessives (cultists even) will see it over and over, analysing every frame. Its two hours flashed by. I was engrossed – even as I mentally corrected its multifarious chronological infelicities.

Bob Dylan and Joan Baez both made protest music in the 1960s. She said she tried to push him to be more political.

During their turbulent and famous relationship, folk singer Joan Baez was gifted with a song penned by Bob Dylan which proved to be one of her most successful.

The beauty of the movie, and of Timothée Chalamet's performance, is it captures how the secret of Dylan's music was never about what it "means."

Baez marks Barbaro’s most potent big-screen role to date after other supporting turns in “Top Gun: Maverick,” where she was the only female naval pilot among a crew of bros, and Ricky D’Ambrose’s Spirit Award-winning family drama “The Cathedral.”

Five years later, with Chalamet now one of the biggest actors in the world and Bob Dylan still alive and well, the film is out for new audiences to delve into his life, which doesn’t need star power to lead.

George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set on You," his last No. 1 single, was originally recorded by James Ray in 1962. It was written by Rudy Clark, who composed numerous hits in his career, including Betty Everett's "It's in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)" the Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'' and the Main Ingredient's "Everybody Plays the Fool."

Costume designer Arianne Phillips earned her third BAFTA nomination for Best Costume Design for “A Complete Unknown.”

As much a story of Dylan as it is of the people who surround him, we’re introduced to the likes of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and most notably, the Queen of Folk, Joan Baez. Monica Barbaro takes on the role of the incredible American singer-songwriter and activist opposite Chalamet,

The Woody Guthrie connection is developed in the movie. Dylan goes to visit Woody in New Jersey where he was institutionalized suffering from Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition. Bob sings “Song to Woody” a song he wrote. Because of his condition, Woody can’t speak but he pounds the wall, in appreciation I thought.
