"A great gift for any Coen fan-boy or fan-girl in your life." ―NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour Combining 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, The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together is film critic Adam Nayman's carefully crafted effort to plot, as he puts it, "some Grand Unified Theory of Coen-ness." Ethan and Joel Coen have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice in modern American cinema. 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. Adam Nayman carefully sifts through their complex cinematic universe and covers 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!
