One of last year's boldest films — not just one portrait of Bob Dylan, but six, featuring half a dozen actors taking on aspects of the music icon — proved largely an exercise for hard-core fans. While the movie was too esoteric for general audiences, it features captivating performances, including the Academy Award-nominated turn by Cate Blanchett in a spot-on rendition of the Dylan-goes-electric era of the mid-1960s.

The DVD has commentary and a conversation with director Todd Haynes, nine deleted scenes, a music video and a making-of segment. ...
