About the trailer
The teaser begins with Edward Norton's character addressing a crowd that he is going to tell a story that started a few months ago, when he met a young man who dropped out of nowhere and started to play a song. In that moment, he knew that there lies a glimpse of a future. The scene cuts to Timotee singing A Hard Rain’s A‐Gonna Fall to a stunned audience. What follows is a montage of scenes as this young man meets Elle Fanning's character, discovers his footing in a big city, and finds his voice.
Fan reactions
The biopic follows the early years of the American singer-songwriter who goes on to become a global sensation. The official synopsis reads: “Set in the influential New York music scene of the early ’60s, ‘A Complete Unknown’ follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s (Chalamet) meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts — his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation — culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.” It stars Edward Norton, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.
