This is Fresh Air.
I'm David Biancooley.
A complete unknown, the new film about Bob Dylan's early career, starring Timothy Chalamet, is out in theaters today.
We hear from three of the people who were depicted in the film.
First, Suze Rodolo, who was Dylan's girlfriend and his muse.
She met him when she was 17 and he was 20, and they soon moved in together in Greenwich Village.
They shared a love of poetry and an abundant curiosity.
At the time, the Village was the center of the urban folk scene.
Rodolo was the young woman arm in arm with Dylan in the now famous cover photo from his album the Freewheeling Bob Dylan.
Here's a scene from the film.
The girlfriend Named Sylvie, based partly on Rodolo, is played by Elle Fanning.
Think about how much I'm gonna miss you.
And I realize I don't know you.
There's a face on your driver's license.
He's different, has a different name.
When I get back, I'd like to get to know that guy.
Don't do this.
You wrote a five minute song about this girl in Minneapolis.
Who was that?
What happened?
