Sari and I walked cold into "I'm Not There" and spent a very difficult 2+ hours trying to figure out what was happening. After only 20 minutes we both wanted separately to walk out, but didn't voice that wish, believing the other must be "into" it. So thankfully we stayed. It was only afterward, reading all these IMDb reviews that we began to appreciate what we had just seen.
If you're going to the film, do yourself a favor and read Bob Dylan's 2004 autobiography "Chronicles" first...or at least Wikipedia's biographical sketch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan) of his life.
There are too many interesting references in the film not to be able to enjoy as you watch. And perhaps you'll even avoid becoming confused and frustrated by the end of the film...
