A Complete Unknown + Cast A Biopic of Your Choice

As Oscar-nominated films continue to grace Malaysian theatres, the latest in the list is James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. With Timothee Chalamet filling the lead role, the movie charts a very specific time in Dylan’s life, as an up-and-coming folk musician in New York, and his electric turn. We talk about the movie and whether it deserves the fanfare it’s getting, before pivoting in Take Two to ask: is there a biopic you’d like to see made, and who would you cast in the lead role?
