Joel & Ethan Coen are among America's best-loved & most lauded independent filmmakers. With their latest work, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Oscar-winning team return to the period-piece films of their earlier career (Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy) & showcase once again their pitch-perfect ear for hilarious & outrageous dialogue, as well as their penchant for the fantastic. Based on Homer's Odyssey, the movie stars George Clooney as Ulysses Everett McGill, who embarks on a mystical & musical journey through 1930s Mississippi along with two fugitives from a chain gang (played by John Turturro & Tim Blake Nelson). History & allegory are expertly entwined as, along the way, the three escapees encounter a blind prophet, are tempted by sirens, do battle with a Cyclops (in the form of a one-eyed Klansman), fall in with George "Baby Face" Nelson on a bank heist, & cut a blues record with a young guitar prodigy who bears a striking resemblance to the real-life Robert Johnson. As inventive & entertaining as their previous works, O Brother, Where Art Thou? is sure to be one of the hits of the fall movie season. "Two of our most dependably provocative filmmakers." -- MIKE CLARK, USA Today.
