The Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown," starring Timothee Chalamet, focuses on Dylan's early 1960s transition from idiosyncratic singer of folk songs to internationally renowned singer-songwriter.
The creative risks undertaken by Dylan during this period inspired countless other musicians: rock acts such as the Beatles, the Animals and the Byrds.
In 2016, Dylan received the Nobel Prize in literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition"
