'i don't see a lot of money here' might be some of the coldest, harshest dialogue i've ever heard in a movie.
inside llewyn davis is one of my favourite coen's. i might give it a re-watch today.
Such a heartbreaking scene.
You probably already know he sang him other song not "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me" but the quote's on the spot.
I love Inside Llewyn Davis (best 2013 movie) but my favorite Cohen movie's Blood Simple.
nobody asked for it, but here's my coen's top 10
fargo
inside llewyn davis
the big lebowski
no country for old men
raising arizona
blood simple
a serious man
true grit
hail, caesar (undervalued imo)
the ballad of buster scruggs
i'm a big fan. i think these are all great movies, & i'd say the first 7 are just about perfect to me.
actually, instead of watching llewyn davis for the i don't know how many-eth time, i think i'll watch buster scruggs tonight, as i've only seen that once, i believe.
& here's the great ild scene where isaac plays queen jane as an audition.

You know what great about this scene?
That Bud Grossman's exactly right.
The genius of the Cohen brothers's that they managed to create a credible main character of a music artist who's talented, no doubt, but doesn't have the qualities that will make him a true artist. And they were able to show it in every area: Llewyn attitude, his work ethic, writing talent, creativity and even his voice (good but something missing that will separate him from the others).
the ballad of buster scruggs for me was unwatchable.
Hail, Caesar underrated. A brilliant film that laughs at the mix of politics and art in Hollywood. The Cohen brothers are antithesis to this approach they always with story orientation and not ideology orientation. As someone who knows Marxist literature and Herbert Marcuse in particular it was very funny to me. Finally a humorous film about the "new left" in Hollywood.
my top 10 Cohen films are. let's say the first 3 are my favorite, the other with no order.
Blood Simple
Barton Fink
The Man Who Wasn't There
no country for old men
Fargo
Inside Llewyn Davis
Hail, Caesar!
The Hudsucker Proxy
the big lebowski
Raising Arizona
