Here’s a track from a collection of early Bob Dylan demos, recorded in 1961 and ’62.
Given my current obsession with the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, it’s hard not to hear a song like this in the context of that great film and the early Greenwich Village folk scene is captures.
I recently stumbled across a blog called What Does the Protagonist Want? written by a screenwriter named Todd Alcott. Alcott dissected Inside Llewyn Davis scene for scene over eleven blog posts (you can read them here). His smart analysis only deepened my appreciation for the film.

Meet Me In Montauk 
After much cajoling, my sister just went to see “Davis” at the only theater it remains playing down in Miami. Unfortunately, I think the expectations factor contributed to her not loving the film as much as we did, though she found it interesting and she continued to think about it after.
Thanks for the blog info; not sure Doug will read it, but I sure will 🙂
I found the movie very captivating and engrossing. I think I found the Llewyn Davis character to be unrelentingly dark and that bothered me. I would have liked a bit more range or complexity. I am so disappointed that this blog is blocked here. I would love to read criticism on the movie.
