THE MEN WHO WEREN'T THERE: COEN BROTHERS' CLASSICS
St. Louis Park's Coen Brothers have built a career of brilliant films that are at once instantly recognizable and yet defy classification. Despite or because of this, they have an oeuvre that is supremely entertaining, taking cues from from such disparate directors as Hawks, Lynch and Sturges. Westerns, noir, screwball, musicals, you'll know if it's a Coen Brothers movie... you just may not know what it means.

35MM PRESENTATION
Three convicts escape the chain gang into rural, Depression-era Mississippi in this vibrant comedy whose period score is now regarded as a classic. Loosely based on Homer's Odyssey (which the Coens claim never to have read), O Brother Where Art Thou? is a hilarious romp in the Preston Sturges tradition.

35MM PRESENTATION
While out hunting, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) discovers two million dollars and a pile of bodies. He goes on the run, but the forces of evil have been unleashed in the form of Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), whose single-minded pursuit of Moss results in collateral damage that can only be described as apocalyptic. Brooding and violent, No Country for Old Men walked away with Oscars for Best Picture, Director, and Supporting Actor for Bardem.
