Trailer

Based on the 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric!: Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties by American musician/writer Elijah Wald the film revolves around the controversy surrounding the switch to electrically amplified instrumentation by the living legend. Timothée Chalamet (who also produces) stars as Dylan, with Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, and Scoot McNairy in supporting roles.

Story: Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous
cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives with
his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of
American music.

He forges intimate relationships with music icons of Greenwich Village
on his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking and controversial
performance at the Newport festival in 1965 that reverberates worldwide.

The film’s title is derived from lyrics from Bob Dylan‘s 1965
astounding, timeless classic single Like A Rolling Stone.

“How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?”
