Un Parfait Inconnu exceptional preview at Grand Rex with the film crew

It's a date film and music fans won't want to miss. On January 15, 2025, the Grand Rex, an emblematic venue for Parisian avant-premieres, will be spotlighting the film Un Parfait Inconnu, devoted to the early years of Bob Dylan. Directed by James Mangold(Walk the Line, Le Mans 66), the feature promises a gripping immersion into the birth of this modern troubadour's artistic genius.

Un Parfait Inconnu tells the story of Bob Dylan's early life in 1960s New York, where he went from unknown artist to major figure on the folk scene. Timothée Chalamet lends his features to Dylan, delivering a vibrant, authentic performance, while Edward Norton and Elle Fanning play key characters in his entourage.

James Mangold, no stranger to musical biopics, delivers a poignant and aesthetically pleasing work, punctuated by live musical performances captured by Chalamet himself. The soundtrack promises to be a tribute to the richness of Robert Zimmermann's repertoire, alternating iconic tracks with revisited covers.

It's not just the screening that draws the crowds, but also the exceptional presence of the film's talents. Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro and James Mangold will be on hand to chat with audiences on this unique evening. The screening will take place in the original version with French subtitles, in the Grand Rex's Grande Salle, renowned for its perfect acoustics and monumental screen.
