The anti social musical film
Llewyn Davis, a struggling folk singer. He's not so successful in his professional as well as personal life.
He has quite a relationship with cats. Doesn't have enough money to sustain his daily days. Doesn't have a home and is a wanderer. The people he loves despises him and he despises other people.
The film shows you the ups & downs or more like downs & downs of llewyn's life. Towards the end of the film the character's depression was quite visible.
The story progression of the film is really interesting.
The cinematography is quite basic and yet pretty.
The tonality & ambience of the film is very unique, very soft, dreamy & quite soluble. You'll doubt whether you're sleepy or it is the film which is like that.
Oscar Isaac played Llewyn very well.
An underappreciated & great musical film.
