Description
Joel and Ethan Coen transport Homer's ODYSSEY to the depression-era South in the silly, fun comedy O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson star as three escaped fugitives on the run in Mississippi. Their adventures through the barren landscape includes run-ins with a soothsayer, a trio of Sirens, a Bible-salesman Cyclops, as well as other archetypes from Southern folklore and pop-culture including a young blues musician, the Klan, and bank robber Baby Face Nelson. Soon they are caught up in a vicious gubernatorial campaign that would make Huey Long proud.The Coen brothers mix in a host of cinematic references in O BROTHER, including SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS, COOL HAND LUKE, I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG, and even dashes of the Three Stooges. The soundtrack of folk ballads, yodeling traditionals, Delta blues, and prison work songs is outstanding, playing in the background (or foreground) of nearly every scene. Clooney, as the ringleader, displays an effervescent smile that is as intoxicating as the Coens' script is outrageous. The cast, including Holly Hunter, Charles Durning, John Goodman, Chris Thomas King, and Michael Badalucco, is charmingly bewildering in a way that only a Coen brothers' cast can be. Joel and Ethan have done it again, crafting this time a unique film steeped in the traditions of the South--and of Hollywood itself.

The best Coen Brothers movie so far. They took a big risk with this one and most people I've talked to love it. It is so completely different than the drivel that keeps spewing out Hollywood. I have seen a few of their movies that weren't the greatest but they do roll the dice! Tim Blake Nelson was the gem of this picture and everyone else was perfect as well. Between the music and Clooney I had...
The song was better than the film.
This is a Good movie! Very funny. A must see!
Awesome movie - a laugh a minute...
George Clooney as his best - and I love the Cohen brothers
I just don't get this movie. It's not funny. It's pretentious.
Suprisingly funny with a lot, and I do mean a lot of Irony. You can't help but get behind the Soggy Bottom boys as they paralel Homer's Odessey.
this is a pretty good movie. my favorite scene is when they are at the radio station or recording studio and you can see the blind guys reflection on the glass and he is dancing and makin all kinds of funny faces. another is when baby face nelson is being chased by the cops and he takes the "choppa" and starts shootin' at 'em then sees some cows and says "i hate cows more than coppas". makes me...
This was the Cohn bros funniest movie, next to Raising Arizona.

Though not as good as Coen brothers' classics such as Blood Simple, the delightfully loopy O Brother, Where Art Thou? is still a lot of fun.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (DVD - 2000)
Damn funny. . .but you have to really pay attention to the gags. . .and the music is quite a treat. . .any film with a redneck-lawyer spouting latin words has to be worth renting. . .
