They have given movie fans classics of all types—comedy, history, drama, romance. Their movies have a distinctive style and point of view: hilarious, sad, thoughtful, musical, sometimes all at once. When someone says a movie is Coen Brothers–like, every serious movie lover knows exactly what they mean. In The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together , film critic Adam Nayman carefully sifts through their complex cinematic universe in an effort to plot, as he puts it, “some Grand Unified Theory of Coen-ness.” He covers all their popular, award-winning, and unforgettable creations: The Big Lebowski Raising Arizona Fargo Inside Llewyn Davis O Brother, Where Art Thou Barton Fink Miller’s Crossing Blood Simple The Hudsucker Proxy And more! The book combines critical text—biography, close film analysis, and enlightening interviews with key Coen collaborators—with a visual aesthetic that honors the Coens’ singular mix of darkness and levity. Featuring film stills, beautiful and evocative illustrations, punchy infographics, and hard insight, this book will be the definitive exploration of the Coen brothers’ oeuvre. Read more
REVIEW
I have enjoyed the Coen Brothers movies for a while now without realizing that there were lots more movies to choose from. It is a very interesting review of their movies with lots of insights that I had missed. I will now have to go back and see some of their earlier works. This is a terrific book that I most certainly won't "Burn After Reading".
