Inside Llewyn Davis


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

The Coen Brothers' latest is an ode to folk music and perfectly captures that rambling poetic melancholy you associate with the form. I have to admit, I really don't like folk music and while I can appreciate the tone they were going for, it's not really my cup of tea. However there's a really great cast and plenty of great dialogue exchanges and humor. And seeing Adam Driver sing that ridiculous bass line is a real delight.

Cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel has given the film a rather extreme colour grade. I've never been a fan of that overly diffused look. But I guess it suits the setting and tone.
