Our debut season of The Opus continues to dissect Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, exploring how the legendary album and its ongoing legacy has sharpened lives, shaken rafters, and ingrained themselves into our culture
For the third episode of the season, host Paula Mejía is joined by renowned film critics Monica Castillo and Jordan Hoffman to unpack Dylan’s life on the big screen — from DA Pennebaker’s Don’t Look Back to Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming on-screen adaptation of Blood on the Tracks.
Together, they explore the highs and lows of Dylan’s performances, how his persona has been rendered in cinema, the pervasive use of his music in film, and the fragmented biography presented in Todd Haynes’ I’m Not There.
