There have been feature films and documentaries about Bob Dylan in the past, but this is the first film to get as close as possible to his "real face." Based on facts and including fictional episodes, it dramatically traces the genius's youth along with his many famous songs. The biggest highlight is the outstanding performance by Timothée Chalamet, who plays Dylan. All of Dylan's singing voices in the film are Chalamet's, and the reproduction is superb.

Released nationwide on Friday, February 28th Distributed by Walt Disney Japan

Singer Roberta Flack passed away.

"Play Misty for Me" was a commercial and critical success, and Eastwood's talent as a director was recognized.
