Masked and Anonymous is a 2003 post-apocalyptic drama directed by Larry Charles and written by Larry Charles and Bob Dylan. It stars Dylan alongside heavy-hitters John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Penélope Cruz, Val Kilmer, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Lange, Luke Wilson, Angela Bassett, Bruce Dern, Cheech Marin, Ed Harris, Chris Penn, Steven Bauer, Giovanni Ribisi, Christian Slater, Fred Ward and more. In the Fall of 2003, I interviewed Larry Charles about the film and the conversation soon turned into a deep meditation on the unique creativity of Bob Dylan. This complete unedited interview with Larry Charles is also one of the most illuminating on Bob Dylan the artist ever published from a collaborator who worked so closely with him and was willing to go to great lengths to explain the work and his relationship with Dylan and Dylan’s creative approach. The resulting interview would not have been possible without Larry Charles' honesty and sincerity.
