A Complete Unknown (Featuring Corey Levitan)

On the 425th episode of Piecing It Together, journalist Corey Levitan joins me to talk about A Complete Unknown. This Bob Dylan biopic from James Mangold starring Timothee Chalamet does its best to make a story out of a mysterious music icon. Puzzle pieces include Bohemian Rhapsody, Amadeus, Birdman and inside Llewyn Davis.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for A Complete Unknown and the movies we discuss!


Written by James Mangold and Jay Cocks

Directed by James Mangold

Starring Timothee Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Scoot McNairy, Boyd Holbrook

About the Podcast

Piecing It Together Podcast
All Points West
A podcast about movies and the movies that inspired them. A good movie is the result of a large number of people both in front of and behind the camera combining to create a piece of art… But what about the movies that came before that inspired those filmmakers to make the movie? On Piecing It Together we figure out what the clear (and not so clear) influences were that make up the movies we love.
