After some deliberation, i think 'Visions of Johanna' is possibly my favourite Dylan song ever. ♥

I'm rather partial to 'The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll' myself. Interesting you bring up Dylan, because I watched I'm Not There yesterday :)

William Zantzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled round his diamond ring'd fingers...

Excellent song.

I'll see if i can find I'm Not There to rent. I really need to see this!

I just bought Suze Rotolo's book, A Freewheelin' Time. I've always been fascinated by their time together, so that should keep me quiet for a couple of hours.

What did you think of the film? Do you think a die-hard fan like myself would enjoy it?

I love the film, but I'm a big fan of Todd Haynes, so that probably makes me a bit biased.
I think a die-hard fan like you certainly could enjoy it if you're willing to accept that the movie is based loosely on Bob Dylan's life. Fact doesn't really come into it and the scenes with all the different actors playing Dylan are mixed pretty freely. There is no clear timeline and some of the scenes are dreamlike, others absurd.
Let me know what you think of it when you've seen it. I think it's definitely worth watching, but that goes for all of Todd Haynes' films :)
