The Coen Brothers’*Inside Llewyn Davis(which rolls out to more cities today)*begins with a folk singer getting beat up in an alleyway, a scene that served as the inspiration for the whole film. From that idea, the Coens came up with a story that would “fit around that and explain that incident.”*The resulting film is small in scope, but one that actively subverts genre expectations, and that’s loaded with pathos and tragedy.
