This anthology presents the story of modern cinema’s most dynamic brotherhood duo, from their debut neo-noir Blood Simple through the lowlife comedy The Big Lebowski. What all these films show is that the Coen brothers deliver visually and verbally inventive and exciting films that keep their fans on tenterhooks waiting for their next movie. This is the first book to collect the best articles, interviews, and reviews of the Coens’ diverse productions, including Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, and the Oscar-winning Fargo.

This review is from: Blood Siblings: The Cinema of Joel Coen and Ethan Coen (Ultrascreen Series) (Paperback)
I am an independant film maker in LA. I am an avid Coen brothers fan. Bottom line this book has too much repetition. Which says to me the editor is the problem. Numerous reviews of the same film and the same interview questions with the same answers made me feel like I was taking a short term memory test. If I read one more time how these guys "first got into film making" I was going to... well suffice to say by the middle of the book I was skipping pages on a regular basis. The best parts we're reading their first hand commentary of the making of the films. From initial ideas to story lines to casting to on-set dinamics to post production. Overall I could have gotten the same info from reading half the book though, and in the end that's what I did. Just skip to the interviews and read the highlighted questions that haven't been asked before. It'll save you time and aggrivation.
