Brothers Coen must have had a very beautiful childhood and comfortable youth to imbibe that much degree of misanthropy. But unlike, e.g. "Burn After Reading", in the "Inside Llewyn Davis" there is no human emotion one can relate whatsoever. The characters are drones/zombies, who populate the bleak urban desert of 1960s (sic!) America. Their motives and actions are as incomprehensible and alien as in their earlier violence porn "No Country for Old Men" and impress the viewers as little.
My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.
