“Finally, a deep, dark comedy that quietly tickles the intellectual, moral and situational funny bone without pandering to easy laughs or overdone bathroom humour” -  S. James Wegg - JWR

“as funny, heartbreaking, questioning, trying, exasperating and sincerely inquisitive a portrait of the human condition as you'll find on screen.” -  Sean Axmaker - Seanax.com

Possibly no American filmmakers are more in love with film than the prolific Coen Brothers.  You either love them or hate them, but whatever it is we guarantee that they will never just leave you cold.  This, according to the critics, is one of their greatest.

A seriously funny movie about the big “Why?” questions of life.  A physics lecturer in middle America, and Jewish to boot, finds everything goes wrong in his life.  What more one wonders, could go wrong, and why him?  No doubt drawing on many little vignettes from their early lives, the Coen Brothers have produced yet another funny/awkward movie about life, the universe and everything.

Nominated for many, many awards, including the Oscar for best film the film did win several prestigious, original screenplay awards for the Brothers Coen.
