Yet one aspect of his career remains underexplored: his appearances and depictions on screen. Since the mid-1960s, Dylan has been the subject of documentaries, an actor in feature films, and the auteur of his own film projects, as well as the inspiration for both traditional and unconventional biopics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI’m Glad I’m Not Me\u003c\/i\u003e explores Dylan on film, from D.
