2009: I Try to be A SERIOUS MAN
Update: 2022-12-05
Description
There's no such thing as an uninteresting Coen brothers' movie, and 2009's Best Picture-nominated "A Serious Man" continues that tradition, offering plenty of philosophical meat to chew on through its exploration of faith and meaning.
In this episode, Mike and Brian return to their conversation about nihilism's place in the Coen brothers' worldview, they talk fables, causality vs. randomness, bleakness as black comedy, and the role of absurdity in the Coens' work, before deciding whether or not this film will make their top fives of the year.
