Publisher's Summary
A playfully critical journey through the Coen brothers' filmography
From such cult hits as Raising Arizona (1987) and The Big Lebowski (1998) to major critical darlings Fargo (1996), No Country for Old Men (2007), and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Ethan and Joel Coen have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice in modern American cinema.
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." 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 hard insight, this book will be the definitive exploration of the Coen brothers' oeuvre.

Terrific analysis of the works of geniuses!
Nayman so beautifully tackles each of the Coens' films with such tact and attention to detail. Especially love how long he spends on their lesser beloved films like Hudsucker, Intolerable Cruelty, and The Ladykillers to explain why they're still important pieces of the puzzle. A must-listen for any Coen Brothers fan!
