SYNOPSIS
The life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis 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 basket houses of the Village to an empty Chicago club - on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman-and back again.

LA GRANDE BELLEZZA (THE GREAT BEAUTY)
Directed by : Paolo SORRENTINO
Country: ITALY, FRANCE Year: 2013 Duration: 142.00 minutes
SYNOPSIS
Aristocratic ladies, social climbers, politicians, high-flying criminals, journalists, actors, decadent nobles, prelates, artists and intellectuals - whether authentic or presumed - form the tissue of these flaky relationships, all engulfed in a desperate Babylon which plays out in the antique palaces, immense villas and most beautiful terraces in the city? They are all there, and they are not seen in a good light? Jep Gambardella, 65, indolent and disenchanted, his eyes permanently imbued with gin and tonic, watches this parade of hollow, doomed, powerful yet depressed humanity. A moral lifelessness enough to make one’s head spin? And in the background, Rome in summer. Splendid and indifferent, like a dead diva?

Country: FRANCE Year: 2013 Duration: 87.00 minutes
SYNOPSIS
Alone in a Paris theater after a long day of auditioning actresses for the lead role in his new play, writer-director Thomas complains on the phone about the poor caliber of talent he has seen. No actress has what it takes to play his lead female character-a woman who enters into an agreement with her male counterpart to dominate him as her slave. Thomas is about to leave the theater when actress Vanda bursts in, a whirlwind of erratic-and, it turns out, erotic-energy.

JIMMY P. (PSYCHOTHERAPY OF A PLAINS INDIAN) looks like something I'd like.
I have some Liberace albums, he was really good!
Thanks. I agree with RH. And I am looking forward to Alex van Warmerdam's Borgman. (His films are among the best of the Lowlands).
Here, in The Netherlands, the media were very proud that there is finally a Dutch film in the Cannes competition. All that and 'our' Anouk got into the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest too!
