The Coen brothers are back with another black comedy that has their signature all over it but will be less accessible than their previous efforts. The story set in 1967 about a Jewish professor whose life unravels when he's faced with problems from his family and work. In contrast to their last film "Burn After Reading," the Coens cast virtually unknown but talented actors that gives the film great authenticity that also applies to the Jewish culture which makes some of the humor hard to decipher if you are not Jewish.
