It may have been largely shut out of the Academy Awards, but the Coen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis” got at least one more Best Picture honor to round out its awards season, as the International Cinephile Society today named it the best of 2013. The group of over 80 film journalists, academics and industry professionals — of which yours truly is a member — also handed the film wins for Best Original Screenplay, Best Ensemble and Best Actor for Oscar Isaac, who tied with “The Wolf of Wall Street” star Leonardo DiCaprio.
Also taking a quartet of awards was “Blue is the Warmest Color,” which won for Best Foreign Language Film, Actress, Supporting Actress and Adapted Screenplay, and finished second to “Davis” in the Best Picture vote. Interestingly, Alfonso Cuaron took yet another Best Director win (alongside ones for cinematography and editing), though “Gravity” only placed seventh in the Best Picture vote. A strong list all round.
