	Coen Brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joel Coen was born November 29, 1954 and Ethan followed on September 21, 1957.
		Their parents, Edward and Rena Coen, were both professors, their father specializing in economics at the University of Minnesota and their mother in art history at St.
		The Coen brothers' earlier films (with the exception of Miller's Crossing) made extensive use of wide-angle lenses, which are the preferred lenses of their first cinematographer, Barry Sonnenfeld.

	Joel and Ethan Coen
		Joel and Ethan Coen, commonly called simply The Coen Brothers in the film business, are United States directors best known for their quirky comedies like Fargo and Raising Arizona[?]; the brothers write their own scripts and alternate top billing for the screenplay.
		Ethan Coen was born September 21, 1957, and is married to film editor Tricia Cooke[?].
		The Coen brothers frequently work with actors John Turturro[?], Steve Buscemi, Frances McDormand[?], John Goodman[?], and Jon Polito[?]; as of 2003, all of their films had been scored by Carter Burwell[?], with occasional help from T-Bone Burnett and others.

	Joel and Ethan Coen
		Ethan Coen declared that in Miller's Crossing “the city's an anonymous one, the typical 'corrupted town' of Hammett novels.” (13) Fargo, on the other hand seems to carry with it a documentary authenticity.
		The Coens subvert the myth of the suffering playwright with their depiction of Barton Fink as a pompous and self-absorbed author who is out of touch with the very people he claims to write for, and about.
		When the Coen brothers draw on their vast intertextual web of references in order to inform their films, as is the case in The Hudsucker Proxy, they are often accused of elitism; of alienating their audience by servicing only their own penchant for in-jokes and obscure allusions.

	Miller's Crossing: The Coen Brothers

	Ethan Coen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ethan and Joel Coen are the reigning heavyweight champions of independent filmmaking.
		The stories exhibit many Coen hallmarks: close attention to diction, a fine eye for ethnic conflict, and a taste for grotesque violence and deadpan humor.
		Coen, who jokingly describes himself in his bio as "the Samuel Gelbfisz Professor of English as a Second Language at the University of Colorado at Boulder," employs a bizarre cast of characters that includes a college-educated boxer trapped in a mob feud and a maverick weights-and-measures man.

		However you call them, Joel and Ethan Coen have won over critics and audiences alike as two of the most original and compelling figures in filmmaking.
		Making their screen debut in 1984 with the noir-ish thriller Blood Simple” —; a story, Ethan once described as “ordinary people doing bad things to each other in the dark” — the Coen Brothers have since produced a body of work known for its fl comedy, sarcastic wit and, often, harsh brutality.
		The Coens’ wry humor pops up everywhere — not only in their darkest films, but also in interviews, Ethan Coen’s published stories, even in their film credits.

	The Coens
		Working with his brother Ethan, screenwriter/director Joel Coen has built a reputation as one of the most visionary and idiosyncratic filmmakers of the late 20th century.
		Their fan base growing, the Coens went on to make Miller's Crossing (1990), a stark gangster epic with a strong performance from John Turturro, whom the brothers also used to great effect in their next film, Barton Fink (1991).
		Joel and Ethan were also listed as executive producers on the 2003 Terry Zwigoff film Bad Santa, a story that came from one of their original ideas.

		With his director brother Joel, producer Ethan Coen is one of the most highly regarded talents on the contemporary American film scene.
		Noir is the catch-all term given to movies like this - yet the Coens achieve their greatest, most disturbing moments in fierce sunlight, in the outdoors and in the dazzling white light of the final sequence.
		Ethan Coen wrote the stories or screenplays for some non-brothers films as well: THE NAKED MAN (1998), A FEVER IN THE BLOOD (2002) and BAD SANTA (2003).

	Joel and Ethan Coen aka The Coen brothers
		Although Joel is credited as director and Ethan as producer on all Coen movies, their collaboration -- like their conversation -- involves much more give and take than the separate titles would imply.
		Barton Fink frustratingly off-putting and insular, as if the Coens were attempting to be strange and obscure just for the sake of being strange and obscure.

		As absorbing and inventive a film it is, the Coens felt differently about it when they began to rework it.
		The Coens have clearly learned a lot since their initial foray into filmmaking over 10 years ago.
		Coen fans will have a chance to compare their debut feature with their more ambitious take on Preston Sturges, O Brother Where Art Thou, a Depression-set comedy starring George Clooney and inspired by Homer's The Odyssey.

	Joel and Ethan Coen: A Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries
		The Coens show a wry, teasing affection for the community in which they grew up, and the film is almost warm in its depiction of this Siberian-looking patch of the United States.
		The aim of this paper is to examine how the Coen brothers' and Jarmusch's choice of the musical field as a territory for their reconstructions of the South enables them to collate distinct artistic domains and genres in their representations of "border incidents" between stories, legends and history.
		The Coens have never made a film so keen to embrace mysteries and marvels, and the enthusiasm is poignant even if it only succeeds 50 percent of the time.

		Coen follows up the well-received short story collection Gates of Eden (1998) with a volume of poetry.
		These are bawdily hilarious, but when Coen leaves their five-line, rhyming structure, he often flounders with awkward rhymes and singsong meters that rouse more cringes than laughs.
		The consensus favorite was the poem "Reunion," where Coen perfectly hits what goes on at the 10, 20, or 25 year high school reunion.

		What follows is a full-throttle comedy that defies description, fuelled by the Coens' lyrical, redneck dialogue, the manic camerawork of future director Barry Sonnenfeld and some of the most inventively comedic chase scenes ever filmed.
		For fans of the Coens, off-beat comedies, Nic Cage and Holly Hunter (which should describe an awful lot of folks), this is a heck of a film.
		The Coen Brothers followed their successful film debut of BLOOD SIMPLE with one of the most original and strange comedies ever to be made in America.

		Applying a quintessentially British mix of dry wit and fl humour to all their work from the impossibly noir Blood Simple to the wonderful The Big Lebowski, Joel and Ethan Coen have crafted often hysterically funny, startlingly unpredictable and surprisingly moving reworkings of the crime genre.
		Features an introductory essay on the Coens along with an analysis and discussions of each of their films, including a consideration of their latest works Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers.
		At this price, most Coen fans are going to pick it up anyway (it's well worth it for the "Trivia" sections alone), and for the Coenetically-challenged, it could make an easy introduction to the constantly recurring themes of their uniformly fantastic movies.

		"For all the visual flair and deft performances on display in their films, the Coens' greatest virtue lies in writing.
		"The Coens appear to have abandoned for good the stylized realism and Aristotelian narrative that made Blood Simple such a success.
		But in an era that has witnessed the commercial success of cartoonish anti-naturalism (Dick Tracy, the Batman films), their concern with striking visual and aural effects may provide the basis for a long career, though difficult films like Barton Fink, despite critical acclaim, will never gain a wider audience." - R.
