Very clever movie. I enjoy Coen Brothers movies. This one was quite different. The sets were fantastic. I loved the unique characters. It is more in the genre of The Man who Wasn't There, the Billy Bob Thorton movie. You watch it, love the black humor, think about it afterward. A lot.
It was like American Pie/ American Beauty/ Edward Scissorhands all rolled into one. Don't you think?
I enjoyed the Columbia record club running-gag through out the movie. I think you have to be over 50 to appreciate this.
Also, a Jewish academic with financial problems; we Goya don't expect to ever see that. When they try to get the protagonist to pay for his wife's boyfriends funeral I was floored. And I believe he did it. Mishuggina.
