Todd Haynes + Bruce Greenwood

Published: Nov. 10, 2007, 5 a.m.

Todd Haynes reinvented the biopic with his movie I'm Not There, a\nkaleidoscopic portrait of Bob Dylan—and the 1960s—with six different\nactors, including Cate Blanchett and Richard Gere, playing variations of\nDylan. This discussion with Haynes and actor Bruce Greenwood, who plays\nthe journalist "Mr. Jones," demonstrates that Haynes was not just\ninterested in exploring the details of Dylan's life, but of the\nfundamental concept of identity as a form of performance, a theme\ncentral to all of his films.
