[Blu-Ray Review] ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’: Now Available On Blu-ray & DVD From The Criterion Collection

Inside.Llewyn.Davis-Criterion.Blu-ray.CoverInside Llewyn Davis (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-Ray] amazon-cart-logo

Director(s):  Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

Cast: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman

Release Date: Now Available on Blu-Ray & DVD

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 10/10

Synopsis:

The visionary chroniclers of eccentric Americana Joel and Ethan Coen present one of their greatest creations in Llewyn Davis, a singer barely eking out a living on the peripheries of the flourishing Greenwich Village folk scene of the early sixties. As embodied by Oscar Isaac in a revelatory performance, Llewyn (loosely modeled on the Village folk legend Dave Van Ronk) is extraordinarily talented but also irascible, rude, and self-defeating. His circular odyssey through an unforgiving winter cityscape, evocatively captured by cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, is realized with poignant humor and the occasional surreal touch. Featuring a folk soundtrack curated by T Bone Burnett, Inside Llewyn Davis reminds us that in the Coens’ world, history isn’t necessarily written by the winners.
