what's the story

Joel and Ethan Coen's film "A SERIOUS MAN" is a dark comedy that centers on Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a Jewish college professor in the midwest during the 1960's. Bedeviled by children who have stole his wallet, a wife who files for divorce, a too-intense grad student and a hot neighbor who sunbathes in the nude, Larry begins to question the value of life. This is the first film since the Coen's hit "FARGO", that was filmed on location in the brother's homestate of Minnesota.

18th Nov 09'
If fortune truly favours the brave, it's no surprise that the hen-pecked, mild-mannered mensch at the centre of Joel and Ethan Coen's new black comedy is pummelled senseless by bad luck. Set in a Jewish community in mid-1960s Minneapolis reminiscent of the film-maker brothers' own childhoods, A Serious Man is a deceptively simple portrait of a family in crisis, distinguished by a sharp script and terrific ensemble cast. Following the unbearable tension of No Country For Old Men and the frippery of Burn After Reading, this new picture finds the Coens in a quirky hinterland where they previously bowled strikes with The Big Lebowski.
