'I'm Not There': The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Ramin Setoodeh

 

"I'm not There," the Todd Haynes film inspired by Bob Dylan, has been called the movie of the year by Sasha Stone (our old-new bff) at AwardsDaily.com. It's also possibly the worst movie of the year, according to Rex Reed of the New York Observer. Is the movie really that divisive?

Yes.

I saw it about a month ago, and to me, "I'm Not There" felt like watching a subtitled movie without the subtitles. It's so strange, with long stretches that will have Academy voters pushing the eject button on their DVD players, I don't see how it can get nominated in any category, other than best supporting actress for Cate Blanchett.

I always thought "I'm Not There" would be too "strange" for the Academy. I think Cate Blanchett is going to be nominated, but I don't believe she is going to win her second Oscar.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
