LFF: A Serious Man Print E-mail
Written by Ivan Radford   
Tuesday, 27 October 2009 23:50
Directors: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Cast: Michael Stuhlbarg, Fred Melamed, Sari Lennick
Certificate: TBC

Translating Homer's Odyssey into a mid-Western road trip. Turning to a barber for some monochrome melodrama. These are not the acts of one auteur. They're the act of two. The Coen Brothers are cinema's most idiosyncratic couple. Who else would jump from Burn after Reading's FBI farce to the Jewish suburbs of 1967? Let alone start the film with a 10 minute fable, entirely in Yiddish. Crazy and creative, they started out mature all those years ago and only get better with age. A Serious Man, their latest, just might be one of their best.

England. 1939. Hitler is advancing across Europe. The nation is on the brink of war. Unease is growing in government; Churchill is contesting Chamberlain's passive response to the rise of the Nazi Party. But for the rich family of adopted Anne (Garai), life continues as normal. Dinners, picnics, night-time soirees - there's no sign of conflict at all. Until the mysterious Mr Balcombe (Northam) turns up.

Certificate: TBC

It's not easy being an interior designer. Especially when you live with your parents run-down motel in White Lake.

He's back. 20 years after Roger and Me, Michael Moore returns to the world of corrupt corporate finance.

Director: Atom Egoyan

Certificate: TBC

We all do it. Get a little paranoid about our partner's promiscuity. And we all take the logical step of hiring a prostitute to seduce said spouse. Right? Well, that's what Catherine (Moore) does. Concerned about David (Neeson) and his flirty ways with women, she calls up Chloe (Seyfriend) - your friendly neighbourhood strumpet - and pays her to pick up her husband. Can you say mentally unbalanced? Catherine can.

Csst: Mads Mikkelsen, Maarten Steven
Certificate: TBC

Smoke. Hills. Sea. Mute Vikings. This is how you know you're in arthouse territory. And they don't come more arty than Nicholas Winding Refn's new feature. Following up Bronson's bare-knuckle brawl with a mythical tale of crusading Vikings, Winding Refn waves aside conventional ideas like plot, or character. Who needs either when you have a psychopathic cyclops and a smoke machine?

Jenny (Mulligan) is 16. She lives in Twickenham. She does her homework. She listens to French records. She dreams of a place at Oxford. She's got a bright future ahead of her. But when older man David (Sarsgaard) enters her life, wooing her with his world of maroon sports cars, expensive clothes and jazz clubs, that future gets a little overshadowed. Sure, she'll get an education, but it's easy to see that she'll learn the hard way.
