They've worked with some of the biggest stars on the planet including Brad Pitt and George Clooney. They earned Academy approval for their stunning visualisation of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men. As they release their new movie, A Serious Man, is it now fair to say that the brothers who began their movie career with blackly comic noir homage and late night cult favourite Blood Simple and then later created a genuine cult hero alter ego for Jeff Bridges with The Big Lebowski, finally joined the mainstream?

  • 'The Big Lebowski' is such a good film

  • so the coen brothers make coen brothers films. ive learnt alot from this clip.

    Mark says a serious man has got mixed reviews. Where has it gotten a bad review? all the reviews I read are quite positive.

    AND being from Ireland I am very pissed off that even though the Coens are now very well known and popular, their films are only released in a few select cinemas in Dublin.They won a best picture oscar 2 years ago for God sake!

    Is any other person residing in Ireland pissed off by this?

  • The Hudsucker Proxy is the best comedy by the Coen Brothers 

  • themselves, not themself.

  • the best coen brothers movie is Barton Fink

  • i want to see this movie!! going to check out in web movie tube

  • I like their comedies like Hudsucker Proxy.

  • @machiaveliyoohoo

    I'm kinda counter-drugculture, but I still think that Lebowski is a fun film. I don't think that Lebwoski is a one dimensional character, actually he's a really interesting well rounded dude, and of course based on people you will occasionally encounter in southern cali.

    I find that some Coen movies are sometimes improved by turning on closed captioning. Actually reading the dialogue along wit the film cements how clever the writing is.

  • @topcat4eva That is the easiest way to get thumbs up, lol. You're right.

  • The serious man is their first good film in a long time. The Big Labowski is one of the best films ever!

  • I cannot wait for True Grit to be released in the UK
