Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

Llewyn with Ulysses in cold New York 

Now here is a good movie! For all those who remember or better said lived the music scene revolution of the sixties this one is for us. Well no I didn't live in New York but felt the reverberations all the way down under in Australia where we carried acoustic guitars and wrote and sang American style modern folk songs, ala Bob Dylan. But even if you know nothing about it this is master film making from the Coen Bros. The mood is exquisite, the scene in Greenwich Village palpable, the characters real, and the feline actors real cuddly and the script the envy of all aspirants. Great scenes by John Goodman as the old washed out jazz musician provide a nice contrast to the young ones and the new music scene. The wonderful Ulysses and his look-alike ring-in ginger cat contribute to the humour. The best scene sees Llewyn Davis visit his agent and ancient secretary in their dark dingy browned out office where he is offered a coat in lieu of payment! It looked like a scene from a Woody Allen film. Must see film. Find a link for it in my comment.
