Özet
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 film stills, beautiful and evocative illustrations, punchy infographics, and hard insight, this book will be the definitive exploration of the Coen brothers' oeuvre.

I could read/listen to Adam Nayman on the Coen’s or PTA for many an hour. This book allowed me to do just that!

Interspersing the film vignettes with interviews from friends of the Coen’s (including Roger Deakins!!) further contextualises the lineage of the work. I do wish there was more time devoted to exploring whether there is a subsisting arc for the Coen’s work. The Coen’s dismissal of such a unifying subtext is referred to, but Nayman has provided more comprehensive reflections on this matter elsewhere, so it was a shame the book didn’t allow for a robust reflection on this.

Nevertheless, having just finished, I’m already game to start it up from the top!

Glorious!
