Editorials > A Serious Man

The Coen Brothers are simply genius. They have released some of the best movies in the last 20 plus years like Fargo , Raising Arizona , No Country For Old Men & The Big Lebowski just to name a few. Their new movie “A Serious Man” has a trailer and it looks pretty good. Here is a the brief description of the movie.

Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) that she is leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous colleagues, Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed). Larry’s unemployable brother Arthur (Richard Kind) is sleeping on the couch, his son Danny (Aaron Wolf) is a discipline problem and a shirker at Hebrew school, and his daughter Sarah (Jessica McManus) is filching money from his wallet to save up for a nose job. An anonymous hostile letter-writer is trying to sabotage Larry’s chances for tenure at the university. Also, a graduate student seems to be trying to bribe him for a passing grade while at the same time threatening to sue him for defamation. Plus, the beautiful woman next door torments him by sunbathing nude. Struggling for equilibrium, Larry seeks advice from three different rabbis. [Apple]

Now my only problem is that it going into limited release on Oct 2nd and while i live in LA and will be able to see it most of America wont be able to. Its just strange that we will have 8,000 theatres playing GI Joe which will suck more than Pluto Nash and this movie will open in 3 or 4 indie theatres. O well

If you want to see the trailer follow the link and let me know what you think.
