This film delves deep into the struggles faced by Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac). He grapples with poverty, couch surfing from one friend's place to another. His musical career seems stagnant, with his solo album failing to gain traction. The constant rejections from record labels and the indifference of audiences add to his woes. Additionally, Llewyn faces personal challenges, including the loss of his musical partner and strained relationships with those around him. The film won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival.
