From the back cover: The brothers Coen from Minnesota are two of the most idiosyncratic film-makers working today and unique among their peers. Their immaculately crafted films reflect the kaleidoscopic nature of modern life, inverting cinematic convention as they unfold. Their movies have straddled the independent and studio sectors for some 15 years. With two Oscars awarded for Fargo, the brothers finally achieved mainstream recognition in 1997, despite continually treading their own twisted path. The Coen Brothers: The Life of the Mind takes the reader through every one of their eight films, including O Brother Where Art Thou? A chapter on each film provides an analysis and detailed profiles of the brothers' chief collaborators and players, as well as a full synopsis and credits. The author also examines projects that the Coens have been involved in, including Sam Raimi's Crimewave. A must-read for the Coen aficionado and newcomer alike, this is the most up-to-date and in-depth study of their body of work yet published.
