In James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, a young Bob Dylan (Timothée Chalamet) arrives in New York in search of his hero Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy) and connects with Pete Seeger (Edward Norton) as he begins his music career, which involves a professional and occasionally volatile relationship with Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and a temperamental romance with Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning).
Awards Buzz spoke with production designer François Audouy about the arduous research process and wealth of photography available related to the film’s subjects. Watch the video above to hear about one particular challenge: MacDougal Street and the surrounding area in 1960s New York City.
