Masked and Anonymous.

Well Bob Dylan's new movie, Masked and Anonymous, is out. Doesn't seem to have been much publicity, not for the A-list cast, but I imagine it'll get discussed. That would seem to be the point.

The NY Times has an interesting review of it. I also saw one in Salon but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Looked good though, probably worth the day-pass thingie they have.

I remember going to see Renaldo and Clara when it was released in the mid 70s. It got roundly panned by the critics, but I thought it was great. The music alone was awesome. But this one sounds much more professional. And with a stellar cast: John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange and more.

Sounds like a bleak vision of life tho, and especially of America. It also sounds like Dylan is having fun with it all too.
