Timothee Chalamet sings Dylan, and grumps just like him too in the new officialtrailerfor James MangoldsA Complete Unknown.Charting the West Village era of the great Dylans rise to international fame, the clip hits all the high points of the near-mythological story: The arrival from Minnesota, the early romance (Suze Rotolo in real life, here called Sylvie Russo and played by Elle Fanning), the flirtation with Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro), the run-in with Newport Folkies angered over his gone electric move.
