Re: (TV) i'm not there / my name is albert ayler

I saw "I'm Not There" last night. My initial thoughts were that it was confusing, pretentious, and long-winded. On reflection, I still think it's too long -- as you do -- but overall I think it's a good film. It assumes a huge amount of prior knowledge of Dylan's career -- I was just able to keep-up.

I do feel it repeats many of the same mistakes as "Velvet Goldmine" (the same director's take on the Bowie/Iggy glam era), but ultimately is more satisfying. The soundtrack will definitely make it to my Chrismas list...

was able to see both these great music films over the
past week.  *loved* the dylan pic, though it seemed a
bit long.  tom's "cold iron bounds" is part of the
film, and there are a few guitar bits in the
soundtrack that might be him playing.  in particular,
a bit that's played at the end of the "judas" sequence
sounds very much like tom.
