關於這部電影

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates New York City's folk scene of 1961.  Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac, Drive) is at a crossroads.  Guitar in tow, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles - some of them of his own making.  Living at the mercy of both friends (Justin Timberlake, The Social Network; Carey Mulligan, The Great Gatsby) and strangers, Llewyn scares up what work he can find. His misadventures take him from the basket houses of the Greenwich Village to an empty Chicago club - on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman -- and back again. Written and Directed by Academy Award®-winners Joel and Ethan Coen (O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country for Old Men) and brimming with music performed by Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan, Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS is infused with the transportive sound of another time and place.

評分和評論

Inside Llewyn Davis is one of those rare films which I knew I was going to enjoy before I'd actually watched it. I remember seeing a trailer for it last year at the cinema and thought it looked really interesting (more so having Carey Mulligan in it). We've all been where Davis is - at a point when no matter what you do nothing seems to work and you want to give up. It's a brilliant film, sometimes dark , sometimes funny. Give it a chance, you may surprise yourself.

Inside llewyn Davis proves that Oscar Isaac is an extremely underrated actor and deserves more recognition. The film itself has incredible writing and the soundtrack is amazing, obviously as it consists of real music. To end out I will say that Dave Van Ronk's presence is felt greatly throughout but even without knowing about Ronk the film is still really enjoyable.

An okay film, and Oscar Isaac gives a great performance in the lead role, but the story doesn't go anywhere. It's just 100 minutes of some bloke getting crapped on by everyone and everything he knows.
