Masked and Anonymous

In this surreal musical satire, Bob Dylan plays Jack Fate, an imprisoned rock star let out to perform at a benefit concert for the poor of a fictitious country (or is it a future America?) embroiled in a shattering civil war. As Fate prepares for the gig, he encounters a series of colorful characters, including two shifty promoters (John Goodman and Jessica Lange), a skeptical reporter (Jeff Bridges), a religious fanatic (Penélope Cruz), an animal wrangler (Val Kilmer), and a loyal roadie (Luke Wilson). Songs include "The Times They Are A'Changin'," "Dixie," and a Japanese version of "My Back Pages." 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1.
