(UK/US, Ethan Coen and Joel Coen, 2016) Summary: "From such cult hits as Raising Arizona (1987) and The Big Lebowski (1998) to major critical darlings Fargo (1996), No Country for Old Men (2007), and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Ethan and Joel Coen have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice in modern American cinema. In The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together, film critic Adam Nayman carefully sifts through their complex cinematic universe in an effort to plot, as he puts it, “some Grand Unified Theory of Coen-ness.” The book combines critical text—biography, close film analysis, and enlightening interviews with key Coen collaborators—with a visual aesthetic that honors the Coens’ singular mix of darkness and levity. Featuring film stills, beautiful and evocative illustrations, punchy infographics, and hard insight, this book will be the definitive exploration of the Coen brothers’ oeuvre." - taken from publisher's website.Notes: Includes bibliographical references.ISBN: 9781419727405Contents: An introduction -- Out of nowhere -- Blood simple -- Raising Arizona -- Miller's crossing -- Interview: Michael Miller -- Barton Fink -- Hits and misses -- The hudsucker proxy -- Fargo -- Interview: The Zellner Brothers -- The Big Lebowski -- Interview: Lisa Walker -- Can't stop what's coming -- O brother, where are thou? -- The man who wasn't there -- Interview: Carter Burwell -- Intolerable cruelty -- The ladykillers -- Mysterious ways -- No country for old men -- Interview: Roger Deakins -- Tuillries & world cinema -- Burn after reading -- A serious man -- Interview: J.

Redmon tackles all of the films in the Coen brothers’ canon by examining—among other topics—narrative coherence in The Man Who Wasn’t There, intertextuality in No Country for Old Men, and sexuality in Burn after Reading and O Brother, Where Art Thou? Additional chapters examine the films through the prisms of gender studies, adaptation studies, and a constructivist sensibility weaved throughout their work." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (pages 155-160), filmography (pages 161-163) and indexISBN: 9781442244849Donation: Sense of cinemaContents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- 1: "It's a problem of 'perception'": identifying the Coens' constructivist sensibility -- 2: "You don't want to be tried and found wantin'": triggering the ongoing adaptation of the the Ladykillers -- 3: "I will destroy him": negotiating the image in Barton Fink and Raising Arizona -- 4: "That gag's got whiskers on it": achieving narrative coherence in the Hudsucker proxy and The man who wasn't there -- 5: "The coin don't have no say": examining intertextuality in the Hudsucker proxy, Intolerable cruelty, and No country for old men -- 6: "A lotta ins, a lotta outs": interweaving genres in the Big Lebowski and O brother, where art thou? -- 7: "Appearances can be deceptive" : investigating sexuality in O brother, where art thou?, Intolerable cruelty, and Burn after reading -- 8: "I haven't done anything funny": scrutinizing gender in the Coens' arrangements of a bunch of men around one woman -- 9: "Accept the mystery": resisting final construction of A serious man -- Conclusion -- bibliography -- filmography -- index -- about the author --

Beginning with a penetrating study of five cornfield sequences - including The Wizard of Oz, Arizona Dream, and Signs - Murray Pomerance journeys through a vast array of cinematic moments, technical methods, and laborious collaborations from the 1930s to the 200s to show how the viewer's experience of "reality" is put in context, challenged, and wilfully engaged. Four meditations deal with "reality effects" from different philosophical and technical angles. "Vivid Rivals" assesses active participation and critical judgement in seeing effects with works such as Defiance, Cloverfield, Knowing, and Thelma & Louise. "The Two of Us" considers double placement and doubled experience with films such as The Prestige, Niagara and A Stolen Life. "Being There" discusses cinematic performance and the problems of believability, highlighting such films as Gran Torino, The Manchurian Candidate, In Harm's Way, and other films. "Fairy Land" explores the art of scenic backing, focusing on the fictional world of Brigadoon, which borrows from both hard-edged realism and evocative landscape painting." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Contains illustrations, bibliographic references and indexISBN: 9780813560588
