A Serious Man - Coen Bros 2009Everytime I walk into a cinema showing a Coen brothers film I feel like I am safe hands. These are Serious directors that trust the intellect of their audience by making non linear films. A Serious Man is their return to black comedy using non name actors. It is about a economics professor Larry Gopnik life in Minneapolis jewish community begins to unravel. There is nothing cliche about this story including ts unbelievable ending that confirms this is a film worthy of a second viewing. As there is many nuance that it up for your own personal interpertation. You like Larry Gopnik go on a journey with him visiting a series of rabbis looking for advice about what is essentially the purpose of life. This film is filled with great performance it has fantastic script recognisable characters. If you liked Election this film carries similar tone. My vote is 3.8 out 5
speaking of spoilers, is it ok to post a review of a dictated movie, the review being too spoileresque to just black out a sentence or two here or there, or should the review be posted elsewhere with just a link to it here?
