Three escaped convicts start a desperate hunt for a supposed treasure. Their way is hindered by crooked politicians, the KKK, giant con men, luring witches and a lawman that takes his job way too seriously. Not being the smartest of the lot, they stumble in each and every step of their way but they finally get to taste happiness in the American South of the Great Depression...
Joel and Ethan Coen once again collaborate and direct this feel-good adventure! Greatly inspired by Homers' Odyssey, this film is highly allegoric and you can find a meaning/connection with everything in it. Great figures an historic landmarks are depicted in this film, disguised and masked to fit inside the film's era. The Devil, Ulysses, Robert Johnson, Poseidon, the KKK and a country in the process of changing all bind together smoothly under the fine orders of the Coen brothers and a soundtrack that could not be any better for this film.
George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson play the three main characters, the convicts that are after the treasure but only find failure and trouble along their way. John Goodman has the small supporting role of a big bodied racist mugger and con man, Chris Thomas King is the skilled bluesman who gets stuck with the convicts and Daniel von Bargen is the Devil himself.
Must watch this : on a cool breezy night with the only light being that of a candle, heavy tobacco, a glass of heavier whiskey and a true friend. Let the film take you in its comforting vortex and feel vulnerable and mortal while you consume the tobacco and whiskey. After the film, oblige in that grassy tune and talk about life and how simple it is while we stupidly make it more complex!
