Film Pick: Don’t miss Joel and Ethan Coen’s new movie Inside Llewyn Davis, easily one of the best recent movies about being an artist. Your family and non-art friends might think you’re a delusional loser, and your colleagues may openly disdain your boundless ego, but you persevere nonetheless. Definitely watch the trailer posted above.

After observing him sniff a canvas once, a friend asked Mr. Berganti�os what he was checking for. The smell of tea, Mr. Berganti�os replied, noting that it was commonly used to make a canvas appear older that it really was.”
