I went and saw Inside Llewyn Davis TWICE in theaters, it was that good.
I love all Coen Brothers movies, they can do no wrong. But ILD seems to not get as much attention as many of their other films. But I absolutely love it. I even bought the soundtrack.
Montaigne Apart from ladykillers
It seems like half of their films are neglected (Serious Man, Man Who Wasn’t There, Hudsucker, etc)
Partly because of the folk music aspect of the film. Most folks run from folk music like a man soaked in gasoline runs from a lit match.
I watched this again for the second time tonight, and it resonated so much more. I loved it the first time around, but there is so much else I picked up on, and I can say this has become one of my all-time favorite films. I adore and respect the fuck out of this movie.
Are u me?
Elvis Mitchell is a great interviewer - insightful, and extremely well prepared.

Ya he’s great
The finest American film makers alive! Hudsucker Proxy, O’Brother Where Art Thou, The Big Lebowski, Inside Llewyn Davis - what a diverse repertoire of work.
This movie is a goddamn masterpiece.
It is a goddamn fucking motherfucking goddamn no shit fucking goddamn masterpiece of goddamn unbelievably goddamn proportions.
I personally, loved ILD. I had a number of friends that dug into O'Brother and could never loosen their feet enough to embrace ILD. I remember thinking a lot about what they're discussing when I first watched the film: Oscar Isaac may have been the ONLY person to cast for this role. The Coens "get it" enough to know that the character had to be played by someone who could receive validation from the audience that he's authentically carrying the songs, no lip syncing, or posing as a musician, but never picks up an instrument during the entire film. I don't know...just another thing that makes me think the Coens are god-like in the abilities to craft a film.
That quality!
Dave Van Ronk is so underrated and underappreciated he is literally my favorite and let's not forget Bob Dylan slept on his couch 😂
Must see this film. Reminds me of 'THE GHOST OF NEIL DIAMOND' , a dark comedy about a fading folk legend, who's homeless, who goes through constant rejections, including his partner, who finds himself completely alone, but it's all different because it's set in the Far East, where the only option left is to impersonate - though it gnaws his soul - the one and only Neil Diamond. Published in 2008, with revised edition in 2010, predating this film a few years. But must see this Llewyn. Sounds such a terrific movie and it's such an amazing and wonderful coincidence.
Nice and hilarious...Truly artistic.
Yet 'No Country for Old Men' had no music
it's silence was the music for that film... That cold, dreadful "music"......
ive not seen this Cohen bros film
Watch it
Hate to be nit-picking, but come on Coen Brothers: Rock and Roll originated and thrived in the American South in the 50's and didn't "come out of the Greenwich Village scene" as they imply here @ 15:36.
+James Gay I never had the sense they implied that. It was very much a concentrated movement and i think that comes through.
They’re just misusing the term “rock and roll.” But you’re right, mr gay.
Perhaps the point the Coens were making is that rock and roll didn't seem to be accepted by literati as a serious musical art form until Bob plugged in at the Newport Folk Festival in '65. That was truly a momentous moment that not even the Beatles had accomplished at that point.
Why does one brother speak so often? Unbalanced .
Actually Ethan, the one speaking more here, was also credited as a director in their films much later on, earlier only Joel was credited as the director.
Bughhhhhhhaghhhslirp..............neveragian.
Perfection & stupid
"Nobody plays guitar like that anymore." Cringe.
Yeah. “OK, but they don’t sing.”
Right, the mystery of singing while Travis picking has been lost to mankind. Libba Cotten took the secret to her grave.
yeah. check out shakey graves.
Lots of people play like that, but they get no airplay.
