Once again, Revels has pulled together a varied and diverse cast of amateurs and professionals to amplify a valuable lesson: it’s important to stop and take stock of our lives during the longest night of the year and to have faith that a new year will bring renewal and growth.

Museum exhibitions take a long time to put together, and the circumstances that justify them at their inception sometimes evaporate by the time they appear.
Focusing on the years between 1961 and 1964, director James Mangold turns Bob Dylan’s creative journey into a better-than-average cinematic biography in which the singer ends up riding off on his motorcycle and into history.
