Inside Llewyn Davis, written and directed by Academy Award® winners Joel and Ethan Coen, was produced by Scott Rudin and Joel and Ethan Coen. The film stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, and Justin Timberlake. Inside Llewyn Davis recently won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival, and will also screen at this year’s New York Film Festival this Saturday, September 28. The film, which will be distributed by CBS Films in the US, begins its theatrical run on December 6.
Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles—some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Llewyn’s misadventures take him from the baskethouses of the Village to an empty Chicago club—on an odyssey to audition for a music mogul—and back again.
Brimming with music performed by Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan (as Llewyn’s married Village friends), as well as Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, Inside Llewyn Davis—in the tradition of O Brother, Where Art Thou?—is infused with the transportive sound of another time and place. An epic on an intimate scale, it represents the Coen Brothers’ fourth collaboration with multiple-Grammy and Academy Award-winning music producer T Bone Burnett. Marcus Mumford is associate music producer.
Nonesuch Records releases the soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Produced by T Bone Burnett, Joel Coen, and Ethan Coen, with Grammy® Award winner Marcus Mumford as its associate producer, the album features 12 new recordings created especially for the film and soundtrack.

The album is available to pre-order now in the Nonesuch Store with an exclusive, 11" x 7" poster from the film and an instant download of the album track "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)" performed by Isaac and Mumford.
