YouTube – A Serious Man trailer.

I don’t remember ever being so… amazed at a trailer.

The Coen brothers have always been a mystery to me. O Brother, Where Art Thou was the first movie I saw by the brothers, and was thoroughly confused at the time of viewing. Then I saw The Big Lebowski, but this one was a bit more accessible to my tastes. I can appreciate that it is a cult classic, and leave it at that.

Most recently, I saw Burn After Reading about two months ago, and it’s probably going to require a second viewing. I understood that the entire movie was basically leading up to an explosive finale that left me breathless and surprised at the quality of the movie.

And now, A Serious Man. Looks amazing. Which only begs the question, when am I going to have the time to go through the Coen brothers’ entire catalog?

Note: Is there a word like “discography” for films?
