Time to embark
on another Coen brothers adventure!
A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.
Inside Llewyn Davis is one of those films where very little happens, but yet keeps you wanting to know what happens next to the protagonist. A prime example of this is The Catcher in the Rye. You don't know why you find it interesting you just want to know what happens in this person’s life.
The only word that I would use to describe the Coen brothers latest installment
is pure. Its acting is pure, its script and direction are pure. It is just a
pure film. Oscar Isaac is starting to make head way in his line of business.
The last film I saw with him in was Drive, which also starred Carey Mulligan
(they a linked together in this film as well). So to see him in another
terrific film is good news. He's a growing star. God, that sounds cheesy! But I
really do mean it.
The Coen brother’s usual cinematographer, Roger Deakins, had scheduling conflicts so was unable to 'light' this film. Instead they dragged in Bruno Delbonnel who has been nominated for an Oscar for his efforts.
This is nowhere near the brother’s best film, but none the less it is another work of art. And to see a young Bob Dylan is always a pleasant surprise.
8/10
