Based on the actual memoirs of folk legend Dave Von Ronk, Inside Llewyn Davis follows the life of folk singer Llewyn Davies (Oscar Isaac) attempting to navigate around the Greenwich folk scene .Set during the harsh winter of 1961 New York penniless , only a orange tabby cat for company, an ex-girlfriend (Carey Mulligan) pregnant, Llewyn attempts to get his first foot in business to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman.
We may not revved up the engine on the awards season yet the buzz from the film, we would be silly to say this film wont do well in the awards, with fantastic U.S reviews things look good for the film. Most of all it's the long welcome return of Joel & Ethan Coen behind the camera after been in the wilderness past few years.
Inside Llewyn Davies now has a UK&Irish release date of 24th January 2014 and co-stars Justin Timberlake, John Goodman,Garret Hedlund, Adam Driver and F. Murray Abraham.
