Following their dark, violent Neo-Noir debut, the Coen Brothers movies then jumped to a polar opposite style for their next film, Raising Arizona. It's a deeply personal jaunt for the Coens, one where they question the point of their craft and wonder Is taking an easy job a sin? With a sneaky, standout comic performance from Matt Damon and a star-making turn from Hailee Steinfeld, the movie has more than enough great acting, intense gun battles, and gorgeous vistas to keep you under its old-fashioned spell. The rug "it really tied the room together". This is a painful admission for someone who considers Raising Arizona to be their masterpiece. It's also an ambitious, funny exploration of fate, religion, ritual, and chaos that goys can admire, too.

Adapting Cormac McCarthy's brutal, uncompromising thriller, the filmmakers crafted their most purely suspenseful and terrifying film to date.

The coin flip, the car crash, and Javier Bardem's haircut have all become pop-cultural fixtures at this point -- strip- mined for memes and parodies. Instead, they set out to steal one of five quintuplets from a local rich family. By swapping out Wayne for a gruff, un-Dude-ish Jeff Bridges, the Coens signaled that this would be their own type of cowboy movie: darkly funny and loaded with profound melancholy. The Coen Brothers were born and raised in Minnesota to a Jewish family, a fact about which Joel once said, "There's no doubt that our Jewish heritage affects how we see things. No -- which means this fine but flawed screwball comedy, about an arrogant divorce attorney George Clooney falling for his client's scheming wife Catherine Zeta-Jones , lands at the bottom of our list.

Office Telephone: 556-3098 Home Telephone: 454-7937 e-mail: [email protected] Course Rationale All instructors who teach gateway seminars are committed to the teaching of critical thinking through the writing process. We will attempt to accomplish that goal in this course through learning about Jewish humor. Our explorations will focus upon the nature and social functions of humor, the ways in which humor can be used to express religious and cultural values, and how in analyzing humor, we can gain a better understanding of issues of identity, assimilation and acceptance, issues that confront many immigrant groups. Course Goals 1. Students will develop those critical thinking skills involved in the process of argumentation that include: constructing thesis statements, analyzing premises and conclusions, evaluating evidence, and weighing completing claims. 2. Students will react to different forms of writing that represent different fields of study including oral history, social theory, the social sciences, and literature. 3. Students will through the processes of peer review and large group interaction, evaluate each other’s writing for the purposes of expediting self-improvement in the writing process. 4. Students will analyze, compare, and contrast visual images as represented in various films. 5. Students will examine the nature of laughter, definitions of the “comedic,” and will evaluate the cultural and universal characteristics of Jewish humor. 6. Students will gain an appreciation for the nature of the Jewish immigrant experience in North America, and will be able to identify values that are relevant to that experience in comedic situations.

  • The Art of Adaptation
    Ritgerð til M.A.-prófs Bókmenntir, Menning og Miðlun The Art of Adaptation The move from page to stage/screen, as seen through three films Margrét Ann Thors 301287-3139 Leiðbeinandi: Guðrún Björk Guðsteinsdóttir Janúar 2020 2 Big TAKK to ÓBS, “Óskar Helps,” for being IMDB and the (very) best 3 Abstract This paper looks at the art of adaptation, specifically the move from page to screen/stage, through the lens of three films from the early aughts: Spike Jonze’s Adaptation, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, and Joel and Ethan Coen’s O Brother, Where Art Thou? The analysis identifies three main adaptation-related themes woven throughout each of these films, namely, duality/the double, artistic madness/genius, and meta- commentary on the art of adaptation. Ultimately, the paper seeks to argue that contrary to common opinion, adaptations need not be viewed as derivatives of or secondary to their source text; rather, just as in nature species shift, change, and evolve over time to better suit their environment, so too do (and should) narratives change to suit new media, cultural mores, and modes of storytelling. The analysis begins with a theoretical framing that draws on T.S. Eliot’s, Linda Hutcheon’s, Kamilla Elliott’s, and Julie Sanders’s thoughts about the art of adaptation. The framing then extends to notions of duality/the double and artistic madness/genius, both of which feature prominently in the films discussed herein. Finally, the framing concludes with a discussion of postmodernism, and the basis on which these films can be situated within the postmodern artistic landscape.

  • The Humorous View of a Psychotic Break in Raising Arizona, by the Coen Brothers
    The Humorous View of a Psychotic Break in Raising Arizona, by the Coen Brothers Thoughts on the bizarre object. Robert A.W. Northey Raising Arizona, the second film by the now well known writer/director duo, Joel and Ethan Coen, was released in 1987. Many of the actors in the film were relatively unknown at the time. The young Nicolas Cage had just caught attention starring beside Cher in Moonstruck, with a few smaller roles in some feature films before that. Holly Hunter was relatively unknown. Frances McDormand had recognition for her stage acting with one Tony nomination, otherwise a few television series and one feature film, Blood Simple, the first Coen brothers film (know that she is married to Joel Coen). John Goodman had been in a few films, but his fame from the TV series Rosanne was still ahead of him. Raising Arizona is a film I know well, first seeing it shortly after it was released, and having re- watched it at least a dozen times since then. The quirky comedy speaks to my sense of humour, and it was an early lesson to me about the art of making film, and of telling a story. Reviewing it more recently from a psychoanalytic perspective has brought me great joy as I was able to discover yet more in this film that I love. Could this story be told in any other way than a comedy? Certainly a story of a childless couple, devastated by their inability to have a child, kidnapping a baby to try and fill the need, hiding the crime from inquiring friends, and being hunted by police and bounty hunters, might be possible as a drama; but would it be watchable or relatable or on any level believable? I would suggest that the story as a comedy nullifies believability as a concern.

  • Elijah Siegler, Coen. Framing Religion in Amoral Order Baylor University Press, 2016
    Christian Wessely Elijah Siegler, Coen. Framing Religion in Amoral Order Baylor University Press, 2016 I would hardly seem the most likely candidate to review a book on the Coen brothers. I have not seen all of their films, and the ones I saw … well, either I did not understand them or they are really as shallow as I thought them to be. With one exception: I did enjoy O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). And I like A Serious Man (2009). So, two exceptions. And, of course, True Grit (2010) – so, all in all three exceptions1 … come to think of it, there are more that have stuck in my mind in a positive way, obfuscated by Barton Fink (1991) or Burn After Reading (2008). Therefore, I was curious wheth- er Elijah Siegler’s edited collection would change my view on the Coens. Having goog- led for existing reviews of the book that might inspire me, I discovered that none are to be found online, apart from the usual flattery in four lines on the website of Baylor University Press, mostly phrases about the unrivalled quality of Siegler’s book. Turns out I have do all the work by myself. Given that I am not familiar with some of the films used to exemplify some of this book’s theses, I will be brief on some chapters and give more space to those that deal with the films I know. FORMAL ASPECTS Baylor University Press is well established in the fields of philosophy, religion, theol- ogy, and sociology. So far, they have scarcely published in the media field, although personally I found two of their books (Sacred Space, by Douglas E.

  • A Serious Man (2009)
    A Serious Man (2009) “Receive with simplicity everything that happens” --Rashi Major Credits: Directors: Joel and Ethan Coen Script: Joel and Ethan Coean Cinematography: Roger Deakins Editing: Roderick Jaynes (pseudonym for Joel and Ethan Coen) Music: Carter Burwell Cast: Michael Stuhlbarg (Larry Gopnik); Richard Kind (Uncle Arthur); Fred Melamed (Sy Abelman); Sari Lennick (Judith Gopnik); Amy Landecker (Mrs. Samsky) Background: Following the success of No Country for Old Men (2007), the Coen brothers felt free to return to an uncharacteristically personal story that they had been thinking about for many years. Set in 1967 in an upper Midwest suburbia like the one outside Minneapolis in which they were raised, A Serious Man draws upon Joel’s and Ethan’s memories as it re-tells the Biblical tale of Job. Although generally praised by critics (earning a Best Picture nomination from the Academy under its newly expanded system of selecting ten movies instead of five), the film, perhaps not surprisingly, did not generate the same buzz as their multiple Oscar-winning Western. Nevertheless, it remains one of their most skillfully crafted works, one that manages to be both painfully funny and deeply disturbing. Its reputation will almost surely grow. Cinematic Elements: 1. The Yiddish prologue, with its narrowed frame, sepia tone, and focused lighting, evokes both the style of silent movies and the vernacular language and storytelling of the Yiddish theatre. Although the Coens have explicitly denied any relevance to the modern story, the prologue clearly resonates with the themes and tone of the rest of A Serious Man. 2. Music: The Coens again collaborate with their favorite composer, Carter Burwell, and the film’s eclectic score—from the Jefferson Airplane’s “Don’t You Want Somebody to Love” to Sidor Belarsky’s melancholy Yiddish song “The Miller’s Tears”—reinforces the film’s shifts from hallucination and dream to comedy and melodrama.
