If you loved Burn After Reading, try A Serious Man
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Burn After Reading, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Serious Man is
Minneapolis suburbs, autumn, a spinning dreidel. A professor's life unravels, his wife packs, an obnoxious acquaintance waits. The Coens find humor in existential crisis.
