Can the Coens ever go mediocre (Ans: Never!!!)

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2014)

Well, finally got to watch this one on the big screen.
A pure breath of fresh air, though I do confess, some of the happenings, esp. the aspect with the Deja Vu, left me nonplussed. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like to have known what transpired before Llewyn goes 'Au revoir' - know what I'm saying?
The movie itself is narrated like a saga (the name of the cat holds a clue to one of the Coen bros' references), and has the Coen bros. style all over, albeit subtle. Carey Mulligan is fanta-fabulous in 3 of her scenes, and Oscar Isaac IS Llewyn. He croons with the best of them, and acts his socks off, and being snubbed at the awards must have been immensely painful. I've enjoyed watching him in Drive, Sucker Punch etc., but this shows how far his range can actually expand to.
My pick for the Best Movie of 2013.
My fav tracks - 500 miles, Hang me O hang me, Please Mr. Kennedy, Fare thee well.......
