Inside Llewyn Davis-2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Ethan Coen, Joel Coen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #35<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"70275369\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed June 17, 2014<\/p>\n

Grade: B+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a tremendous fan of the Coen brothers (Fargo-1996, No Country for Old Men-2007) I was eager to see their latest offering, Inside Llewyn Davis (2013).<\/p>\n

The Coen’s have such a sense of quirkiness in their characters and while this film is not on the level of their other gems, it is a good piece.<\/p>\n

I love the cold, winter, Greenwich Village setting as struggling folk singer, Llewyn Davis (expertly played by Oscar Isaac) struggles over two weeks to land gigs or breaks while encountering many people who either thwart or help his chances of success.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the film was ignored by the Oscar brethren, but alas it tells of a slice-of-life experience of a 1960s artist.<\/p>\n

As with most Coen brother films, it is cast with unique, interesting character actors in a bit but nuanced parts.<\/p>\n
