The Coen brothers critically acclaimed debut feature is a film noir thriller, with dark comic touches, set in rural Texas.

BURN AFTER READING

In true Coen Brothers fashion, they follow a critically-acclaimed, moody film, in this case No Country for Old Men, with a peculiar, coolly-received comedy. That's Burn After Reading, a callously parodic thriller about two gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) who stumble upon a disk containing the tell-all memoirs of a former CIA agent (John Malkovich) and foolishly attempt to blackmail him. This might not be Joel and Ethan Coen's most incisive movie about dumb people, but give it a few years and there will most likely be a cult to argue the case. Co-starring George Clooney and Tilda Ethan Coen/Joel Coen---USA---2008---96 mins.

The Coen Brothers (Fargo) update the classic 1955 British comedy caper with Tom Hanks taking the role of the fast-talking, buck-toothed swindler, Goldthwait Higginson Dorr. After a stretch of Oscar-winning dramatic performances, Hanks is back in fine comedic form as he leads a gang of incompetent thieves in an attempt to tunnel from a cellar into a riverboat casino to steal the loot. The scheme goes haywire when the lady of the house, an avid churchgoer (Irma P. Hall), catches onto the plan. Also stars Marlon Wayans, J.K. Simmons, Tzi Ma, and Ryan Hurst.

The Coen Brothers' offbeat, comic film noir stars Billy Bob Thornton in an impressively restrained performance as the title character--a barber who seems to barely be a participant in his own life. That begins to change when he tries to blackmail the man who is sleeping with his wife. Things go seriously wrong from there. Also starring Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini and Tony Shalhoub. Superb black and white cinematography by Roger Deakins. "Mr. Thornton is so quietly funny in his unflappably uninsistent way that he creates, for my money at least, the most strikingly engaging character in a movie I have seen all year..." (Andrew Sarris, New York Observer). Joel Coen---USA---2001---116 mins.

Joel and Ethan Coen's critically-acclaimed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, persistent violence, and a cryptic climax. Set in West Texas in 1980, a hunter (Brolin) comes across a drug deal gone bad and a briefcase full of money. Greedily making off with the dough, he becomes the target of one of the screen's most memorable hitmen to date, a straight-faced, looming Bardem topped with a silly haircut. In trying to keep step with the assassin's pursuit, the local sheriff (Jones) is forced to reevaluate his own mortality. A return of sorts to Blood Simple and Fargo, the Coens have instilled a menacing brand of humor in this nearly perfect genre film. Winner of Academy Awards for best motion picture, directing, supporting actor, and adapted screenplay. Ethan Coen/Joel Coen---USA---2007---122 mins.
