Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Applying a quintessentially British mix of dry wit and black humour to all their work from the impossibly noir Blood Simple to the wonderful The Big Lebowski, Joel and Ethan Coen have crafted often hysterically funny, startlingly unpredictable and surprisingly moving reworkings of the crime genre. Being careful not to reveal too much of the plot, or to destroy the humour, Cheshire and Ashbrook tackle recurrent themes including family, dreams, religion, references to the work of Stanley Kubrick and shoes(!) with dry wit and erudition. So as well as in-depth analysis of the different characters, we have explorations of the homosexual elements in both Miller's Crossing and The Big Lebowski, and the hints of potential incest in the latter and Raising Arizona. Images of heaven and hell that run throughout their work, particularly in Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy are also dissected. Surprisingly, there currently exists only one other book on the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen, by Peter Korte and Georg Seesslen. This sometimes very quirky and frequently controversial analysis marks a much needed addition to the field and has enough enthusiasm to delight fans and possibly win a few converts. -Stephen Portlock --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
