"A Serious Man: the newest Coen Brothers film"

http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/aseriousman/ <-- click here for Apple-quality trailer
http://bit.ly/t6G3h <-- click here to see the trailer from my site and get Longo paid

Personally, I'm not sure about the film yet, since I know literally zero about it. But that's probably a good thing-- I'd see a Coens flick without the trailer, and I tend to prefer trailers that don't give it all away.

What sayeth you?

      This film is pretty freakin' dark. Don't let the ads fool you.
Oct 14th 2009
23
           It's about as dark as their last one. Everything came off hokey.
Oct 14th 2009
28
                I too didn't like the opening scene. The rest worked for me, though.
Oct 14th 2009

                     It only worked for me, because I saw it for free.

Any Coen brothers movie without A-list celebroactors is usually great

I can think of one: Blood Simple, 1985

Oct 11th 2009

      Did yall see the boom mic in that one scene? (spoiler)
Oct 12th 2009
19
           Peeped it last night in Chitown...
Oct 13th 2009
20
           Boom mic is the projectionist's issue, not the director's.
Oct 13th 2009
21
                Ah ok thanks. Always wondered how that could go overlooked.
Oct 13th 2009
22
not sure i understand the message/meaning behind the film
Oct 14th 2009
24
You felt bad for the main character the entire time?!?!?
Oct 14th 2009
25
oh i hear you, but that still goes against the message in the film
