A Serious Man: A Coen brothers script: An impression

This movie will not be for everyone. I'll venture that it'll harder to find consensus on A Serious Man than it was for No Country For Old Men. But for those of us who love everything Coen, it'll be great.

I'll sum it up as a man's life falling out of order and then, through no work of his own hands, falling back into place. No murder, no fraud, no mystery. Just one man's broken life changing before his eyes.

If anyone else was making this movie I wouldn't be excited. But their language and shot composition makes it uniquely Coen. And that has yet to be a bad thing.

Look for it later this year. There's also a small part played by Adam Arkin of whom I am a fan.
