Film Review: "A Serious Man"

[da_lj]

A Cohen brothers movie; not quite as dark a comedy as Fargo. Set in Minneapolis, but a Jewish suburb, not small-town. The story is, at face, a retelling of the Old Testament book of Job, the trials of a God-fearing man

O Brother is an homage to a film called Sullivan's Travels. I can't say that I would recommend this film on its own, but it is very interesting in combination with O Brother. (And frankly, a better fit than their stated tribute to Homer's Odyssey.)
