"This highly anticipated biographical film about legendary singer and songwriter Bob Dylan follows six distinct characters, depicting different stages of Dylan's life, embodying a different aspect of his life story and music. Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Ben Whishaw and Marcus Carl Franklin all take turns playing Dylan, and Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg appear as two of the women in his life. Lyrical, poetic and highly stylized, it's the first biographical feature project to secure the approval of the music legend. Directed and co-written by Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, Velvet Goldmine)."

"Ridley Scott's legendary adaptation of Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? gave us a startling vision of a noir-ishly dystopic future, in which the line between human and non-human has worn perilously thin. Scott's masterpiece not only anticipated our future but designed it: Much of our world today appears, well, just so Blade Runner. To commemorate its 25th anniversary, Scott has gone back, corrected a few details and fashioned a version that he feels is closest to what he had originally intended. One of the greatest American films of the Eighties has just gotten even better. - from the New York Film Festival"

As Moss tries to evade his pursuersin particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (Javier Bardem) the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this mornings headline"
