Thoughts : Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

Yesterday, in my continuing efforts to provide various types of content for this blog, I undertook ranking the films of the Coen Brothers.  Usually, when I rank directors, I have the issue of having to list multiple films I have not seen so that they will not be factored into the rankings, but in this case, there was only one film : Inside Llewyn Davis.  The film was already on my list of stuff to watch, as I am a devout and dedicated fan of the Coens, but in the history of unseen films that did not factor into my rankings, no fanbase was as vocal about me seeing the film immediately as this one.  With that bit of ‘friendly suggestion’ in mind, I decided it was time to watch Inside Llewyn Davis. 

Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a young seaman with dreams of finding success at a folk singer in 1960s Greenwich Village, New York City.  His previous musical group, Timlin & Davis, found brief success before tragedy visited Mike Timlin (Marcus Mumford in a voice only role), and his current solo release, Inside Llewyn Davis, is not selling.  Llewyn spends his days and nights living off of those he can, looking for any and every opportunity to make money, and making sure that all of his peers know exactly how he feels about their creative abilities.  Jean Berkey (Carey Mulligan), of the many people that Llewyn uses, lets Llewyn know that she is pregnant, though she is unsure if the father is Llewyn or her husband Jim Berkey (Justin Timberlake).  In an effort to make some sort of money to ‘take care’ of Jean and set himself up for a better life, Llewyn chases a series of opportunities, all of which lead him squarely to the realization of exactly how everyone in his life feels about him.

Llewyn Davis is as talented as he is selfish, and the way that he uses others and is driven by the bottom dollar perfectly sets up his oblivious (or possibly uncaring) nature to the wake of destruction connected to his actions.  The pride in his talent lifts his up to a place of entitlement, which manifests in an inability to regulate his opinions about others... sometimes his hurtful opinions are indirect, but usually, they are targeted and hurtful criticisms doled out to strangers and loved ones in equal measure.  It is often unclear (purposefully, I would surmise) if Llewyn’s harsh actions are driven by a sense of jealousy or a sense of spite driven by sociopathic tendencies, but regardless, either read would support the fear of responsibility that clearly sits heavily with Llewyn.  The long and short of it is, Inside Llewyn Davis is a ballad of an antagonist placed in the protagonist position who is continuously feeling forces that are trying to remove him from his comfort zone.

As a narrative, the setup of reflections on an edgy, tortured soul surrounded by the content, the complacent and the commonplace works as a solid foundation.  Llewyn’s presence as an antagonistic protagonist reads as him constantly trying to rock any and every harmonious boat he can find, be it for personal entertainment or as an attempt to drag others down to his realms of pain.  With all of this hurt and resentment fueling Llewyn, the symbolism of the cat as forced responsibility (and the very real unconditional love it needs) plays beautifully, especially as the actual cat switches while remaining familiar.  The tolerance shown to Llewyn by those in his life force the audience to consider the leeway given to the talented, and how many are willing to do things detrimental to themselves in hopes of raising the talented up.  Ironically, all of this is ultimately for naught because, as mentioned previously, Llewyn has a concrete dedication to taking any direction other than the path of least resistance, almost as if he owes a penance of pain.

The Coen Brothers have always been adept at comedy of all varieties, but outside of A Serious Man, it’s hard to think of another one of their comedies wrapped up in so many layers of tragedy.  This is enhanced by the smoky, lived-in, desaturated look that the film employs.  As a period piece, the Coens wonderfully capture a lost, gritty era of New York, and by comparison, the open expansion of the Midwest that Llewyn travels through are a memory of the pre-capitalism boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s.  The ensemble cast is relatively large but extremely well managed, and is chock full of kinetic and dynamic energy that can be found in every combination of interaction presented on the screen.  While the film is extremely musical, it is done so in a very sincere way, to the point where the story is driven by the acting more so than the novelty of having actors who can also sing.

The way that Oscar Isaac makes the most hateful characteristics of Llewyn so lighthearted and entertaining is a testament to his ability to connect on more than a surface level with both other actors and the audience.  By comparison, John Goodman comes in like a freight traing, throwing an amplified version of Llewyn’s worst aspects right back at him.  Carey Mulligan’s pain and frustration permeate off of the screen, settling in a place where they have a true impact with the viewer.  Justin Timberlake brings a sense of optimism and accessible talent that offsets Llewyn’s sense of detachment.  Adam Driver is a naïve light in a jaded darkness, while Garrett Hedlund’s brooding presence brings a quiet, sinister element to the film, like a harbinger of danger.  F. Murray Abraham, Stark Sands, Jerry Grayson, Jeanine Serralles and Alex Kaprovsky make memorable appearances, while support is provided by Ethan Phillips, Robin Bartlett, Max Casella, Ben Pike and more.

I knew going into the film Inside Llewyn Davis that the team of the Coen Brothers and Oscar Isaac was a “can’t miss” connection, and the film proved this theory to be correct.  While being quite the entertaining and thought-provoking work, it’s funny to think a movie considered to be a "strong Coen Brothers presentation" would be a career altering classic if presented by most any other director.

A thousand Voices. A single Dream. 1899: newspaper boys strike when Pulitzer tries to raise the distribution prices. Borrowed this from a coworker, and they're so coordinated and musical and it almost immediately made me want to sing and dance too, while also educating me about historical events. It also made me just want to watch a bunch of other early 90's live action Disney (like that Tom and Huck with JTT, Angels in the Outfield, Hocus Pocus, Man of the House, Jungle 2 Jungle...or Little Women). I guess I'd always thought the musical came before the movie, and was amused to learn this came first. Aside from the friend from Doogie Howser, and Laurie from aforementioned Little Women, and that kid from Big, there's also #AnnMargaret! #RobertDuvall! and #BillPullman! It was also amazing to hear the difference in some of the actors' characters accents vs real life voices, #ChristianBale and #MartyBelafsky in particular, wowza. (awww, Crutchy.) The example words of a good headline that Jack uses, ("maniac", "corpse") 😆, and saucy, using "love nest" and "nude" infront of her parents 😂👌🏼. Fav songs: Seize the Day, The World Will Know and maybe King of New York. cutest/funniest part had to be Les pointing out that David was his older brother (yea kid, we noticed) and/or any time where Crutchy was waay more upbeat than I'd ever be (so like anytime he was on screen) #ssmovieof2017 #drama #family #history #musical #DavidMoscow #LukeEdwards #MaxCasella #GabrialDamon (aaahhhh Spot Conlon...sigh) #ArvieLoweJr #AaronLohr #TreyParker #DeeCaspary #JosephConrad #EleKeats #JeffreyDeMunn #DeborraLeeFurness #MichaelLerner #KevinTighe writers: #BobTzudiker, #NoniWhite director: #KennyOrtega movie of 2017 number 7) #Newsies
