I'm Not There - Todd Haynes (2007)

Not really a bio-pic. More of a thought-pic. The actors put on faces that explore different facets of the man: activist, star, poet, edge-surfer, Americana-ist. Using a variety of real and surreal names is a fantastic way to 'lift and separate'. What's up with all of the explicit 8 1/2 references? I'm not catching the parallels between an incredibly prolific song writer and a movie director who can't get his creative juices up.
