Inside Llewyn Davis15

Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen | USA | 2013 | 1h 45m | Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake, Adam Driver

Set in 1961 New York City, folk singer Llewyn Davis finds himself at a crossroads. With no winter coat, no steady home, and a shrinking circle of allies, he faces overwhelming challenges as he strives – guitar in hand – to carve out a place in the music world. Renowned American filmmakers, the Coen Brothers (No Country For Old Men, Fargo), deliver a poignant exploration of artistic idealism, the pursuit of commercial success, and the heartbreak of an artist left behind by a swiftly evolving cultural landscape.

Reviews

‘This is instant A-list Coens; enigmatic, exhilarating, irresistible.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘The Coens have given us a melancholic, sometimes cruel, often hilarious counterfactual version of music history. It’s a what-if imagining of a cultural also-ran that maybe tells us more about the truth than the facts themselves ever could.’
★★★★★
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
