The Coens are back with a folk song of a story and a bowl-cut John Goodman

Following half of a folk band, his guitar, an escaped cat, and a catchy tune, the new trailer for Inside Llewyn Davis previews an intriguing and awaited return from the Coen brothers. Although it’s not the first, this trailer sheds a little more light on the titular character’s story, played sullenly by Oscar Isaac, and features a bit more John Goodman goodness. If you’ve got a folk song in your heart, or just a soft spot in there for the Coens, this is going to be a must watch when it’s released.

Watch the brand new trailer for Inside Llewyn Davis after the jump.

Here’s a synopsis for the film:

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. 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.

Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake, Garrett Hedlund, and Ethan Phillips, Inside Llewyn Davis opens in theaters December 6th.
