: O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Author: Coen Brothers
Director: Coen Brothers
Strange film: not what I expected, and I didn’t expect anything. It didn’t quite work for me. The comedy wasn’t the laugh-out-loud kind, which made you wonder if you were supposed to be laughing at the odd things that were happening. The music was different and interesting, and I liked the musical aspects, though sometimes the songs were too long (they lived past their one-joke premise). Overall, I liked the whole Odyssey retelling aspect, set in the 1940’s, but Clooney was an awkward casting choice, with an inconsistent performance. Worth seeing just because it’s so different, but it’s not one of my favorite Coen brother’s films.
