And yet, here we are. In terms of its format and conflict (standard three act drama; Man vs. Society)\u00a0<em>A Complete Unknown<\/em>\u00a0is far more conventional and far less revolutionary than either\u00a0<em>I\u2019m Not There<\/em>\u00a0or Dylan himself. However, the singer supposedly gave\u00a0<em>A Complete Unknown<\/em>\u00a0his stamp of approval after doing a readthrough with director James Mangold. What gives?
