I'm Not There, but I'm still here

Yesterday was a great day for cult director Todd Haynes and his latest picture " I'm Not There". Cate Blanchett (one of six actors, the others being Marcus Carl Franklin, Ben Whishaw, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, to play Bob Dylan, one of the most influential artists of all time) won the award for best actress at the Venice Film Festival and the movie won a Special Jury Price. After being awarded this prestigious award, Blanchett is now considered to be a favorite for the next Oscar awards. I must admit I've only seen some short scenes on youtube and of course the trailer, but it looks like a really amazing movie and Blanchett's Dylan is as close to the original as it can get (just a small reminder: Cate is a woman, bob is not). Being a huge bob fanatic, I'm really looking forward to this movie.
