Overview

This book, edited by two German film critics, carefully delves into the Coens' work to uncover and explore the various aspects of their craft and to recognise their view of human experience, in which the world's a place where 'you're on your own' and, to quote a line from Miller's Crossing, 'Nobody knows anybody...not that well'. These themes and variations on them animate the cult favourites 'Raising Arizona' and 'The Big Lebowski' as well as the Cannes Film Festival award-winner Barton Fink and the Coens' hugely successful and now classic Fargo. Detailed examinations of the films are enhanced with over 500 photographs, an interview with Joel and Ethan Coen never before published and a complete list of credits for each of their pictures. In all, this book, like repeated viewings of a Coen brothers movie, reveals previously hidden riches to be found in the cinematic worlds they create.
