Think you know your Coen Brothers? Think again?
This month, Phil Foster of Phil the Bear’s Blog, talks us through his incredible retrospective article on the Coen brothers filmography. From Raising Arizona parenting tips, to looking after cats with Llewyn Davis, it’s all here.
In this absorbing, funny and informative episode, Phil details the five Coen Brothers movies that he thinks are modern masterpieces. We discuss the significance of the hat in Miller’s Crossing, roles for Robert Redford in O Brother, Where Art Thou, devils and angles and the sheer diversity of their back catalogue. Screwball comedy, film noire or intense drama, the Coen’s can do it all and have, many times.
