Art is useless and these guys make an example of this every time. That includes every review for every movie they ever made with the same way of thinking. Pessimism? Totality of randomness and stupidity ? no heroes land here ? not bad for a criticism, not bad for art, just depressingly useless. i am not movie fan, you just read a useless review. we are partners at this crime.
Why we chose it
The Coen brothers (“No Country for Old Men”) open with a scene in Yiddish set a century before the story proper, then pile on malicious spirits, plots nobody can prove and the pitch-black humour they do best. At the centre is a lecturer who asks three rabbis why all this is happening to him.
Synopsis
Larry Gopnik teaches physics in suburban Minneapolis in 1967, and his life is coming apart on every front. His wife wants a divorce, his jobless brother has moved into the house, and somebody is sending anonymous letters about him to a committee at the university. He takes his troubles to a rabbi, then to a second rabbi, then to a third.
