I couldn't find a thread for this in a search, possibly due to the title using bad/generic search words. If there is one then link it here and I'll kill this thread.
Anyway, since it just got Blanchett a Venice festival award for actress I figured it was worth discussing. I hadn't realized it was on the radar but after finding out more about it I'm pretty interested. There's a clip of one of Cate's scenes as Dylan out on YouTube, plus the trailer (which is far less helpful in gauging the film). It's obviously an ambitious film and very arty, perhaps not for everyone's tastes, but the idea of multiple actors all playing the same character is interesting and more so when you look at the widely varying list of actors in the role.
Some of it is "stages of his life" but I also get the impression that it's meant to show Dylan as a common man, as an anyman figure. Perhaps that's not the case, I don't know having not seen it yet.
Has anyone seen it? Is this getting into LA/NY in time to get Cate on the actress Oscar list?
