The film is presented in the original 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical ratio and is in 1080p high definition. The picture on the disc is faultless, which just makes you want to jump into the sumptuous locations all the more.
The sound is in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, but while such a film isn’t one for special effects, the music does come through sharp and clear and is a joy to listen to.
There’s one main extra on this disc:
- Inside, Inside Llewyn Davis (42:48): Presented in HD, this breaks down many aspects of the film – the usual about why they chose the time period they did, why they chose Oscar Isaac, and so on, and how it all came about. Interestingly, all the music in the film was played live.
I loved the film so I found this a very intriguing supplemental. It’s a great shame there’s nothing else of any real use to me. One of the Coens (I can’t tell them apart) says that they have a lot of spare footage of cats doing things you don’t want them to do, but doesn’t know if there’s a market for that…. well, that’s what the extras are for!
- Audio description: Describes the film… audiobly.
The menu is a simple affair, showing the titular character singing the main theme.
There are subtitles in English, but when it comes to the chaptering, I feel one should come every five minutes on average. Studiocanal, like many other distributors, go for a low 12 however long the film. I would like them to increase this number.
Once again, Studiocanal put trailers before the main menu. These should go in the extras section, hence I won’t publicise them here.
Inside Llewyn Davis is out now on Blu-ray and DVD, and a CD Soundtrack has also been released.
