...even remember what made the disc so terrible. Throughout, Collett sings in a voice reminiscent of Bob Dylan and occasionally even channels the folk legend through harmonica riffs. But while he’s got the sound and the lilt down, Collett possesses only a tiny fraction of Dylan??s songwriting talent. He seemingly lacks the ability to create anything inventive, interesting, or meaningful.

Six actors—Marcus Carl Franklin, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, and Ben Whishaw—play fictional characters that represent different epochs of Dylan??s life.

But the message is always fierce, like the character who tells a woman at a cocktail party of the three possessions he would bring on a desert island—“Bob Dylan??s ‘Highway 61 Revisited,’ James Merrill’s Collected Poems, and my lucky Sonic Youth T-shirt”—then actually ends up stranded with those items. Starving and naked, he laments, “Every few hours...
