Inside Llewyn Davis

“A guitar. A cat. And a New York winter.”

In 1961 New York, Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a folk singer moving through the Village's cramped apartments and clubs, sleeping on friends' couches. He has a record that didn't sell and a cat that isn't his, and each day feels like an attempt to stay afloat without sinking. The Coens follow him for a week as the people around him move forward while he spins in place.
