    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In Bob Dylan's first scene, where he is released from prison, he is wearing a wig. He liked it so much that he continued to wear it for various occasions, including his appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in August 2002.
    • Goofs
      When Nina Veronica meets the TV executives at the television studio, the liquor bottles in the center of the table change position and number in almost every shot where they are visible.
    • Quotes

      Jack Fate: I was always a singer and maybe no more then that. Sometimes it's not enough to know the meaning of things, sometimes we have to know what things don't mean as well. Like what does it mean to not know what the person you love is capable of? Things fall apart, especially all the neat order of rules and laws. The way we look at the world is the way we really are. See it from a fair garden and everything looks cheerful. Climb to a higher plateau and you'll see plunder and murder. Truth and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. I stopped trying to figure everything out a long time ago.

    • Alternate versions
      Laura Harring appeared in early versions of the film (including the cut which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival) playing a character called 'The Lady in Red'. However, her scenes were cut from the theatrical release version.

    Fate Takes a Hand
    In so far he ever conveys emotion, the Birthday Boy seems to be enjoying himself, and as cinematic indulgences by rock greats go this could have been far, far worse.

    Dylan's involvement has ensured a star-studded supporting cast (of whom a chain-smoking, short-skirted Jessica Lange is probably the most fun), and at least it passes quickly enough for you to think "Is that it?" when it abruptly ends.
