In 'A Complete Unknown', director James Mangold discusses capturing Bob Dylan's early career, particularly the transformative 1961-1965 period in Greenwich Village and Newport. The film portrays his transition from the folk music scene to his electric performance at Newport Folk Festival, which marked a cultural shift. Surprisingly, much of the film was filmed in New Jersey to evoke the authentic aesthetics of 1960s NYC. With insights from production designer Francois Adoury and actress Monica Barbaro, the conversation explores recreating the vibrant bohemian energy of that era.
"The new film charts Bob Dylan's early career, from his arrival in Greenwich Village's folk music scene in 1961 to his 1965 show at the Newport Folk Festival."
"With such storied spots as New York City and Newport as backdrops, would you believe that they shot nearly the entire thing in New Jersey?"
"Cape May, meanwhile, makes a mean Newport. Here, Adouray, director James Mangold, and Monica Barbaro recap capturing the fleeting bohemian energy of the Village in the 1960s."
"You could eat a meal off of the sidewalk, says production designer Francois Adoury of the present-day neighbourhood."
