A Serious Man, Coen Brothers



I like this film. I like the way that it looks. I like the characters, and the sense I felt of what it might have been like to be within the Jewish community in 1967 in Minnesota, suburb of St. Louis. I did not feel uneasy, but amused whist watching. I particularly liked Larry, the protagonist. He does everything right yet unexpected and troublesome things happen upon him, and it seems there is no reason.
