COEN BROTHERS: THE COMPLETE GUIDE (PB)

Gangster movie, Western, film noir, rom com, screwball, musical, even the Biblical epic - there are few genres left untouched (and untwisted) by Joel and Ethan Coen. Since 1984's Blood Simple, the inscrutable brothers have blazed their own cinematic path to craft bold, stylish and witty movies that feel fresh and distinctive despite being deeply rooted in their creators' passion and knowledge. This book takes the reader through the brothers’ 20 features (not counting the mezzanine) and explores themes, tropes, gags, familiar faces and quirky Coen curios.
