Inside Llewyn Davis chronicles a struggling young folk singer, played by Oscar Isaacs, who arrives in Manhattan in 1961 and tries to navigate the treacherous waters of the the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene, as well as having to deal with a disaffected girlfriend, his father's dementia, the suicide of his musical partner, and the loss of his friend's cat.
Suffused with the music of the time, the film is an emotional journey inside the soul of Llewyn Davis.
Noel and Ethan Coen are the writer/directors of The Big Lebowski, Fargo ( for which they won the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award) and No Country for Old Men (for which they won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Film Academy Awards).
