Postavant

The Coens are doing something they haven’t done in quite a while, a very dark comedy with next to no-names filling out the entire cast (how famous do we count Richard Kind?), all presented in a weird, ballsy way. At least, that is how the trailer for A Serious Man implies what we’re in store for, a film that looks so obscure and alienating that the makers of the trailer went almost hilariously out of their way to slap in the faces of moviegoers that “THIS IS THE COEN BROTHERS YEAH FARGO LEBOWSKI NO COUNTRY OMGOMGOMGOMG”. It’s an awesome trailer, though, and though it seems to not say very much, and kind of underwhelmed me by not making me want to know more with that approach, it’s still an awesome trailer. Because it just screams Coen, and luckily not the Ladykillers kind. Not much focus on Richard Kind though, who was the one getting Oscar buzz for this in the preliminary “we look at cast lists and make guesses” stage. Scratch that one off, probably. Trailer post-jump.
