Product Description

Review

'The only comprehensive study of the work of David Lynch. More than achieves its intention of being an exhaustive and revealing guide to one of the masters of modern film-making' (Lynch) Empire 'A stunning guide. The level of research is stunning, the cornucopia of trivia original and the passion for the movies unstinting. A fascinating read' (Kubrick) Empire 'Painstakingly researched, beautifully written and fully comprehensive' (Spielberg) Empire


Product Description

Irreverent, individual and technically virtuosic, Joel and Ethan Coen make up one of the most original and unconvential 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. Each of their films is unique and all of them defy categorization, yet you're never in any doubt you're watching a Coen brothers movie. From the elegiac "Miller's Crossing" to the surrealistic "Barton Fink" and the Odyssean caper "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", the Coens' films combine cinematic innovation with an instantly recognizable aesthetic. This guide is a chronological exploration of the movie career of Hollywood's best-loved outsiders; it combines indispensable reference material with critical analysis of their films and charts their rise from cult favourites to box-office contenders.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for any Coen Brothers Fan, 13 Sep 2003
By Helen Ewart (Aylesbury, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The ideal Coen Brothers companion. A highly informative and enjoyable guide whether you are a die hard fan or a Coen Brothers beginner. Essential reference material with facinating trivia plus critical analysis of all of their films from 'Blood Simple' to 'Intolerable Cruelty'. Insights revealing the storys behind the films plus quotes from the film gurus themselves gives you a true picture of the masters of celluloid and their work. A fully comprehensive guide. Superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know about the Coens!, 19 Jul 2005
By Truman (Manchester) - See all my reviews
As a fan of the Coen brothers' movies, this book was simply brilliant. Full of relevant and interesting analysis, it did what all good film books should do: make you want to see the films again. The only downside is that the book (or my edition, at least) only covers up to The Man Who Wasn't There, therefore missing out on the Coens' last two films, Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers. However, considering the disappointment of both these films, maybe it's not such a loss. This book really changed my view of the films (though I still think The Hudsucker Proxy stinks), and has definitely enhanced my enjoyment of them. What better recommendation could there be?
