Great Scenes from the Movies #9

No matter what kind of project Joel and Ethan Coen embrace they go balls out. The brothers have made some of the greatest films in American moviemaking history--so many that all you need do is pick one to find your bliss.

I believe the quality of their body of work is unsurpassed, at least among the modernists. And of course, I am not alone.

This is a scene from my favorite of the Coens' work, their 2001 homage to mid-century noir, "The Man Who Wasn't There."



Here is a somewhat dated yet interesting review/analysis of the Coens from one of the best online movie sites, Senses of Cinema.
