Ethan Coen
The Ladykillers (2004)
Illustrates the Coens' problem of ballooning fussiness and shrinking effect.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
The most fascinating element of the film is its formal linking of its multiple, no-nonsense protagonists.
Burn After Reading (2008)
Sour candy...redeemed by its humor and its clever construction, harkening back to the relatively optimistic crime comedy
Fargo
.
A Serious Man (2009)
Hail, Caesar! (2016)
In a way, the amusing, preposterous
Hail, Caesar!
, for all its arch postmodernism, becomes what it pastiches, resembling the kind of '50s film we can now watch and admire for a kind of cultural reflection without exactly considering it a success.
