“When I made the Bob Dylan movie, I wanted to make a Bob Dylan movie that was like a Bob Dylan song. One with a lot of layers, that had a lot of poetry, that had a lot of surrealism and was ambiguous and hard to figure out, like a puzzle.”

– Larry Charles

  1. Can’t help but love the sense of humor…the almost sarcastic humor….maybe because I have a bit myself, but with all the places and all the different situations and people Bob has been, seen & done things with etc… he’s still just who he is…Bob Dylan
