Paul Rouse: Like Dylan, sport is still tangled up in truth 

To just give up on facts and information, and to simply cede the pitch to imagination and emotion and feelings is a profound mistake.

The new film on the life of Bob Dylan – A Complete Unknown – is brilliant. Timothée Chalamet is magnificent as Dylan and the supporting cast is fantastic.

The whole thing is a triumph for the director, James Mangold, a man whose career in film spans decades and is studded with high-profile successes.
