Ah, if only we could go back to the bohemian nexus of the American folk scene in 1960s Greenwich village. \\xa0To be among the beatnicks and intellectuals, musical anthropologists and legendary performers. \\xa0Drinking coffee and arguing over varyingly intense leftist ideas. \\xa0Living, loving, and just soaking in the timeless music so lionized during this romantic and vibrant time and place. \\xa0Or we could just watch Joel and Ethan Cohen\\u2019s 2013\\xa0Inside Llewyn Davis\\xa0and enter a bleak, frigid, desperately commerical version of the same place bent on breaking down our titular, self-destructive prototagonist with an endless barage of assaults and indignities. \\xa0But, you know, it\\u2019s kind of a comedy.

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Pedro Costa\\u2019s\\xa0Colossal Youth (2006).
