Book description
Joel and Ethan Coen make up one of the most original and
unconventional movie-making partnerships to come out of America at the
end of the 20th century. From their debut tour de force Blood
Simple to the hugely acclaimed The Man Who Wasn't There,
the brothers' films have attracted critical kudos and commercial
success in equal measure due to their irreverent, individual and
technically virtuoso nature. Each of their films defies
categorisation, yet you're never in any doubt you're watching a Coen
brothers movie.
This exploration of the movie career of Hollywood's best-loved
outsiders charts their rise from cult favourites to box-office
contenders, whilst combining indispensable reference material and
critical analysis of their films.
