This is a clip from the new Bob Dylan movie. It stars Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan and David Cross as Allen Ginsberg.
Cate Blanchett raised eyebrows when she first announced - at Cannes last year - that she was to play Bob Dylan in a new movie. Especially when it turned out the film was by the experimental director Todd Haynes, best known for using Barbie dolls to tell the life story of Karen Carpenter - much to the fury of the dead singer's brother Richard.
Now an advance clip of Haynes's Dylan film shows that with a curly wig and a pair of RayBans, Blanchett makes a pretty good if oddly smooth-cheeked Dylan. Other actors depicting various Dylan 'personas' in the film, due out in the US in September, include Christian Bale, Richard Gere and Heath Ledger.

- "You wanna know what's wrong with religion? Religion is supposed to be about people being nice to each other, but frankly I don't see a lot of that. You know what I do see is, I see, a lot of people using the good book to say that they're morally superior. I see people building TV stations to bilk grandma out of her pension checks, all in the name of God. How about all those God-fearing people who are killing other God-fearing people because they don't fear God the same way?" - Dr. John Becker
