Play Trailer Play Screener Contact SalesWith unique access, archive and a host of famous contributors, this intimate film will follow the strange but brilliant journey of the enigmatic Coen Brothers.
Lifting the curtain on the enigmatic brothers following their career decade by decade, answering the question so many have asked – how do they do it? Their chameleon talent has taken every genre – thrillers, comedies, tragedies, westerns, musicals, spy, gangster and noir - and somehow reinvented it and made it their own.
Following their personal stories and revealing how their shared childhood fantasy world created this unique vision, how they have responded to events in their own life and in American history, and how their fascination with those films they absorbed as children, and the alienation they felt from American life, combined to create something quite new.
As well as the Coens themselves the film includes personal interviews with George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Holly Hunter, John Turturro, William H Macey, Tim Robbins, Peter Stromare, Tim Blake Nelson, and many others who have worked with them, from legendary cinematographers and designers to childhood friends and those who knew them growing up.
With a total of fourteen Academy Award nomination, and four wins, they are equally beloved by BAFTA and other awards committees around the world and yet over nearly forty years they‘ve managed to retain their mystique and oddball personas, making them the two most unlikely creatives ever to conquer Hollywood.
This film will follow the strange but brilliant journey that took them there.
