Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) with Joshua Turek
In this episode, I explore the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis alongside author and comedian Joshua Turk. We discuss Llewyn Davis, portrayed by Oscar Isaac, as he navigates the challenges of his music career amid 1961's New York City folk scene. The film examines themes of artistic ambition, isolation, and the complexities of human relationships as Llewyn grapples with rejection and personal connections. We analyze the significance of his choices and the recurring cat symbol, reflecting on the pursuit of dreams and the realities faced by artists today.
