I really like this 2013 Coen Brothers film – and love the music, which is evocative of the Greenwich Village folk scene just before Bob Dylan hit it big. Oscar Isaac stars as a struggling, volatile folkie, and the movie makes a lot more sense, at least to me, once you see it as employing the structure of a traditional folk song. Lots of different verses framed by an opening and closing that, by the time it repeats at the end, makes a lot more sense.
