Inside Llewyn Davis is a musical drama directed by Ethan and Joel Coen, released in 2013. Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake, the film plunges into the world of New York folk music in the early 1960s. With its wintry atmosphere and melancholy look at the life of an artist, it offers an intimate fresco on the quest for recognition and the difficulties of the musical world. After its acclaimed run at Cannes, it will be available for streaming on Netflix from October 2025.
Inside Llewyn Davis will be available on Netflix from October 1, 2025.
Synopsis: Inside Llewyn Davis recounts a week in the life of a young folk singer in Greenwich Village in 1961. As a bitter winter descends on New York, Llewyn struggles to survive, taking on a succession of odd jobs and impromptu gigs. His misadventures take him from Village cafés to a deserted Chicago club, where an audition could change his life. But his choices, his mistakes and the weight of his relationships seem to keep him from moving forward.
Inside Llewyn Davis is directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, known for Fargo, No Country for Old Men and O'Brother. With this film, they have created a more intimate work, focusing on the figure of a lonely artist struggling against himself, while at the same time painting a portrait of 1960s America through its music scene.
Oscar Isaac, still little known to the general public in 2013, makes a name for himself in this role of an inhabited, melancholy musician. His critically acclaimed performance helped launch his international career. The cast also includes Carey Mulligan(Drive, Gatsby the Magnificent) and Justin Timberlake, who brings a lighter touch to the story.
The film should appeal to audiences with a taste for musical frescoes and artists' stories. Those who enjoyed Walk the Line, Bohemian Rhapsody or O'Brother may find a similar atmosphere here, between musical performances, introspection and raw realism. The wintry ambience and existential questioning ofInside Llewyn Davis also make it an experience akin to auteur cinema.
