Film:  Inside Llewyn Davis

Even sadder on the 2nd watch.  I feel strong, melancholy emotions watching this film.  I'm not sure whether that's a good thing.

I'm reading East of Eden and Steinbeck refers to Weltschmerz as "the world sadness that rises into the soul like a gas and spreads despair so that you probe for the offending event and can find none."

Today, we'd just call it depression.  In any case, I get a strong feeling of Weltschmerz watching Inside Llewyn Davis.
