Exclusive Audio: Todd Haynes on “I’m Not There”

11/21/07, 5:12 pm EST

The latest issue of Rolling Stone features Greil Marcus’s in-depth Q&A with Todd Haynes, director of I’m Not There — the new film in which six different actors portray Bob Dylan. The interview was originally conducted before an audience at the Telluride Film Festival, the day after I’m Not There premiered. Below, check out audio excerpts from the interview:

  • Haynes talks about the concept of identity in his films — including Dylan’s status as identity-changer, and how the Sixties may have marked been the beginning of a national “identity crisis.”

  • Haynes talks about the idea of “queerness” in his films, touching on both Andy Warhol and Pentecostal fundamentalist Christianity.

  • Marcus and Haynes answer an audience question about the role of Dylan’s music in the film.

Six different actors and actresses, are too many. Is this to say no one can play Dylan? As profound as he is, a lot of the meaning to life had to do with the sixties, and the spirit of the times. Sure I love Dylan, but it seems that he is a human being, and not a God.

Holy shit. What the hell happened to Todd? He’s like a pencil and as white as a ghost! I hope he’s not hooked on heroin again!

Man, Todd Haynes life really went to hell after “Different Strokes” was cancelled!!!
