794 Inside Llewyn Davis
Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
I love Inside Llewyn Davis, but the current Blu-Ray is perfectly fine. The extras are going to have to be kicking on this one for me to upgrade.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
I would think they will have lots of great supplements for the release. Probably a commentary track, a doc on Greenwich Village of the 60s, more folk scene stuff and hopefully the concert footage. Maybe even a Dylan piece, along with interviews.

Actually, a Dave Van Ronk piece would make more sense.FrauBlucher wrote:Maybe even a Dylan piece.

Thought Dave Van Ronk supps would be a given.

Risking a possible ban here, but wouldn't it be funny if it was some other film with that same image?

You know what's funny? I considered getting Inside Llweyn Davis for my birthday so I guess this is an early (or technically late since it's likely being released later this year) birthday gift for me.

Color me nonplussed. I can't believe we're getting another blu ray of this before The Man Who Wasn't There or Barton Fink.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
Perhaps it'll be released in the same month at Barton Fink - that thought definitely crossed my mind.

I would seriously bet on Barton Fink showing up in this months announcements.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
I won't be upgrading either unless it's stacked to the hilt and is a 4k transfer. Frankly, I'd have preferred a Man Who Wasn't There Blu-Ray too.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
DVD Talk reviewer Tyler Foster posted at the Blu-ray.com forums that he was told that the Coen brothers stopped by Criterion last year when Criterion were in discussions with MGM/Fox about Blood Simple (unfortunately MGM/Fox wanted too much money and the deal fell apart.) So, it could be that they got along with the Coens and wanted to work with them and this was their first chance. (Other than the New Year's Day drawing from 2013, has there been any other sign Criterion has Barton Fink?)

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
Joel Coen had a phantom page prior to the Barton Fink New Year's clue. It was also speculated that Criterion might have grabbed it when MGM/Fox released a Blu-ray box of their other four Coen films but inexplicably omitted Fink.dwk wrote:Other than the New Year's Day drawing from 2013, has there been any other sign Criterion has Barton Fink?

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
There seems to be a fairly good argument for this being a somewhat circular plot, in that the first scene really is the first scene (bar/alley behind bar), and the last scene (bar/alley behind bar) really is the last scene rather than just a repeat of the first scene. I know that the conversations in them are slightly different, and next time I'll check if the bar owner is wearing the same clothes in both of these bar scenes.
Am not sure about the 1963(?) movie poster that he stares at for a long time, and dylan writing that tune in 1963(?) being points that support the circular argument. The Coens didn't seem to care about music from the 1970's being included in A Serious Man, which was set in the late 1960's.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
Exactly. There are other discrepancies as well (at one point, someone sings a Tom Paxton song that didn't exist yet). The Coens just don't care that much about temporal continuity.copen wrote:Am not sure about the 1963(?) movie poster that he stares at for a long time, and dylan writing that tune in 1963(?) being points that support the circular argument.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
I definitely think the first scene is just a prefiguring of the last one. The dialog is more complete in the final scene, but it is the same assailant, saying pretty much the same stuff.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
I'm convinced that the intent of the Columbia Record Club salesman announcing the future releases of Santana's ABRAXAS and CCR's COSMO'S FACTORY is to suggest he is some kind of seer (which fits in with the rest of the film's biblical allusions). There's little reason to make anachronistic references to specific albums otherwise, especially when the Jefferson Airplane songs actually heard on the soundtrack are period-appropriate (as are the other pop culture references).copen wrote: ...The Coens didn't seem to care about music from the 1970's being included in A Serious Man, which was set in the late 1960's.
As for Inside Llewyn Davis, I can more easily see them lifting songs from a couple years later if they thought the songs would fit the mood - after all, you know what the lead character says about folk songs.

Llewyn is living in a timeloop even as the world around him ages. Using this logic, anachronisms are impossible.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
In A Serious Man, the Hendrix song that plays during the dentist visit is from 1/1/70 fillmore east, nyc (2nd show, to be exact).
This seems to be the most logical and simple solution to Inside Llewyn Davis' beginning and end scenes.

I like this movie more every time i see it.

Of course, the problem of slight differences in the dialogue between the two bar scenes still exists.The first scene of the movie is the last scene of the movie, just shown beforehand.
Knowing this, the real first scene chronologically is when he wakes up in the Gorfeins and the cat escapes. At the end of the movie when he wakes up at the Gorfiens and stops the cat, it's a separate instance that only mirrors the first instance.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
For what it's worth, I checked, and in the opening scene, the bar owner wears a red shirt, and in next to last scene of the film, before Davis goes out into the alley, the bar owner is wearing a black shirt. so these two are not the same scene edited differently. they're 2 different occasions.

Re: Forthcoming: Inside Llewyn Davis
But isn't this music non-diegetic? I would hold that to a different standard than music being listened to or performed (or spoken about) by the film's characters themselves. If the Hendrix track is being piped into the dentist office (I don't recall and don't have the disc readily at-hand) then it could be an intentional acknowledgment that the Larry Gopnik of 1967 is receiving premonitions from three years hence (the Santana and CCR albums were both released in 1970 as well).copen wrote:In A Serious Man, the Hendrix song that plays during the dentist visit is from 1/1/70 fillmore east, nyc (2nd show, to be exact)...
