2.15 Review: Bob Dylan biopic ‘A Complete Unknown’
A Complete Unknown, the highly anticipated biopic film about the legendary American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, is now showing in New Zealand cinemas.
Directed by James Mangold, the film has generated plenty of buzz, particularly around the casting of Timothée Chalamet as Dylan—no doubt a move to introduce this musical icon to a new generation of fans.
RNZ’s very own film buff Simon Morris shares his thoughts on Music 101.

4pm The Mixtape: Songwriter Holly Arrowsmith
Our guest curating the Mixtape is multi award-winning songwriter Holly Arrowsmith.
Born in the Santa Fe desert, New Mexico, and then raised in the mountains of southern New Zealand, Holly Arrowsmith’s Americana-tinged folk & country sound has been awarded APRA's 'Best country song' award twice. Her latest album Blue Dreams has been critically acclaimed.
Holly is both poet and storyteller. She has performed alongside Sixto Rodriguez, C.W Stoneking, Tami Neilson, Jessica Pratt, Nadia Reid, Marlon Williams and Tiny Ruins.
She is in Auckland this weekend for the Auckland Folk Festival and will play The Great Hall in Ōtautahi (a beautiful historic venue in the Arts Centre). Tickets on sale here.
