AUDITORIUM

We all now know a lot about another unknown folk singer trying to make it in New York, but what about Llewyn Davis? Although he’s fictional, there are connections with real-life singers of the 1960s, when this film is set. Being made by the Coen Brothers, it ticks the box of ‘dark comedy’, but it also features live folk performances. Oscar Isaac plays the title role, while Carey Mulligan is there in a supporting role, as is John Goodman, a stalwart of earlier Coen Brothers films. The film premiered at Cannes in 2013 and was awarded the Grand Prix. It later received numerous nominations for Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes.
