"Inside Llewyn Davis" (2013) Directed by The Coen Brothers
The title of Inside Llewyn Davis may refer to us as the audience being within the confines of this frustrated singer and experiencing his inner torment, but similarly it can be seen as slightly ironic as Llewyn is anything but inside but very much outside and struggling to find his rightful place in the burgeoning folk rock scene of the 1960’s. The film is set in 1961 and pre Bob Dylan however the film is inexplicably linked to Dylan in so many ways. Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan were on/off friends for many years and both pioneers of the folk scene. One received universal acclaim as one of the greatest singer songwriters of our age, whilst the other was marginally less successful! But history aside the film is soaked through with a Dylanesque tone and sepia colouring, right through to feeling like his famous album cover for “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan”. It may just be me (OK, it is just me!) but seeing Llewyn trudging, head down through the Chicago snow is vaguely reminiscent of this album cover and Dylan himself appears in the finale’.
