Inside Llewyn Davis

This American black comedy drama film was written, directed, produced, and edited by Joel and Ethan Coen.

The Coen brothers create films spanning many genres and styles, which they frequently subvert or parody. Other notable works of theirs include Fargo (1996), The Big Lebwoski (1998), and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). Together, they have been nominated for thirteen Academy Awards, winning four in total for screenplays, directing, and Best Picture.

The film is set in 1961, and follows one week in the life of Llewyn Davis - played by Oscar Isaac - a folk singing struggling to find success while keeping his life in order. Most of the folk songs performed in the film are sung live by the actors, and the entirety of each song plays.

The story was inspired by the cultural disconnection within a New York-based music scenes where the songs seemed to come from all parts of the United States apart from New York, but whose perfumes included Ramblin’ Jack Elliot and Dave Van Ronk - who’s autobiography was also used for inspiration.
