'Inside Llewyn Davis' Trailer: A Long Look At The Coen Brothers' Latest
Here's a new long trailer for Inside Llewyn Davis, the new film from Joel and Ethan Coen. Oscar Isaac stars as the title character, who is making his way through a music career in '60s New York as he also navigates a few tricky personal and business relationships with the likes of Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, and John Goodman.
Everything we've seen of the film has been aces so far, and reactions out of festivals have been enthusiastic and full of praise. You'll get a taste of that praise in the trailer thanks to a slew of pullquotes, but you'll also get the feeling that the praise might just be justified, thanks to the exquisite tone of the performances, the comedy, and the film's imagery.
Inside Llewyn Davis starts to hit theaters on December 6. IMDB has the trailer.
INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis (OSCAR ISAAC) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles—some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Llewyn's misadventures take him from the baskethouses of the Village to an empty Chicago club—on an odyssey to audition for a music mogul —and back again.
Brimming with music performed by Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan (as Llewyn's married Village friends), as well as Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS—in the tradition of O Brother, Where Art Thou?—is infused with the transportive sound of another time and place. An epic on an intimate scale, it represents the Coen Brothers' fourth collaboration with multiple-Grammy® and Academy Award®-winning music producer T Bone Burnett. Marcus Mumford is associate music producer.
