A Complete Unknown with Jay Cocks

With an introduction and discussion from Oscar-nominated screenwriter and MIFF alum Jay Cocks!

Whether you've seen it once, multiple times, or only heard about its endless accolades, this is your chance to experience A COMPLETE UNKNOWN in the company of the stellar mind who wrote it! MIFF Midlife Achievement Award Honoree Jay Cocks returns to introduce and discuss the film that he received an Oscar Best Original Screenplay nomination for this year, the great Bob Dylan biography, A Complete Unknown. In the early '60s, a complete unknown himself at the age of 19, originally named Robert Zimmerman, who’s changed that moniker to “Bob Dylan,” blows in from Minnesota to Greenwich Village, New York City, guitar and songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” in his head and heart. Music–and the world–will never be the same.

"A Complete Unknown is a drama of scruffy naturalism, with a plot that doesn’t so much unfold as lope right along with its legendary, curly-haired, sunglass-wearing coffee-house troubadour hero. Yet the feel—the effect—is that of a musical."—Owen Gleiberman, Variety.
