In one of the more egregious instances, the Cuban Missile Crisis is happening, and panic strikes New York City, where Joan Baez is shown frantically packing a suitcase.
What makes the movie work, though, is what happens immediately after that scene: Baez calls Dylan on his bullshit.
Clearly used to people indulging his beatnik self-mythologizing, he looks briefly stunned at Baez's response: 'You're full of shit.'
In covering Dylan's rapid evolution from Woody Guthrie acolyte in 1961 to impish rock star in 1965, Complete Unknown charts a tumultuous few years in his relationship with Baez.
