Evan D.Nearly nine years have passed since the Coen Brothers wondered, on 700 screens nationwide, what their lives and art would be without each other. For as bleak and apocalyptic as their prognosis was, the simple fact remains, neither Joel nor Ethan Coen are Llewyn Davis. Of course the master filmmaking duo are individually talented, but if anyone needed the proof, Joel Coen’s first solo effort, The Tragedy of MacBeth is a visually stunning powerhouse.
