DIRECTORES ICÓNICOS. LOS HERMANOS COEN

Gangster movie, Western, film noir, rom com, screwball, musical, even the Biblical epic: there are few genres left untouched by sibling visionaries Joel and Ethan Coen. Since 1984’s Blood Simple, the inscrutable brothers have effortlessly forged their own cinematic path, crafting bold, stylish and witty movies that feel fresh and distinctive. This is a definitive guide to that path, exploring their feature films – the themes, the tropes, the gags, the familiar faces – while also taking in all the Coen curios that litter this quirkily winding byway. From Texas to Minnesota, from Homer to Shakespeare, from lost hats to errant cats, this book covers all things ‘Coenesque’… And then some.
