A Complete Unknown soundtrack: All the songs featured in Bob Dylan biopic
Several of the iconic musicians' classic '60s hits can be heard in the film – in new versions performed by Timothée Chalamet.
Even if it has its detractors, no one could deny that Bob Dylan's distinctive voice is one of the most iconic sounds in the history of popular music.
Getting that voice right was therefore one of the most vital challenges for Timothée Chalamet when it came to playing Dylan in new biopic A Complete Unknown, and the Dune star has done a very admirable job indeed of adopting the legendary singer-songwriter's unique vocal mannerisms.
In fact, according to one of the film's producers, Chalamet's renditions of Dylan's songs were so accurate that members of the crew found it difficult to tell the difference between his versions and the original recordings.
"That’s when we knew that we had something special," Peter Jaysen explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
All of the numbers heard in the film were performed live by Chalamet on set, and several of the other cast members, including Ed Norton and Monica Barbaro, also provide their own takes on some classic songs throughout the film.
