Films by the Coen brothers are rarely conventional, and Inside Llewyn Davis looks like it won’t buck the trend, with this tale of a week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.
It stars Oscar Isaac as the titular Llewyn Davis, plus Carey Mulligan as his better half Jean, alongisde Justin Timberlake, Garrett Hedlund and John Goodman, and from the trailer I’m not 100% sold on it, but a Coen Brothers film has to be watched in full to work out one way of the other if you like it.
Inside Llewyn Davis is released in the UK on January 24th 2014. Watch the trailer below:
