The Big Lebowski

Informationen zum Autor Joel Coen and Ethan Coen Klappentext The Big Lebowski begins with a case of mistaken identity which escalates when Jeffrey Lebowski-alias The Dude-attempts to seek recompense for the despoliation of his ratty-ass little rug, and then finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bagman-a situation that goes from bad to worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners. In this film the Coen brothers have taken on the preoccupations of Raymond Chandler, but have given them a postmodern spin, while at the same time leaving Philip Marlowe's ethos intact as The Dude wanders through the fractured world of nineties L.A. trying to do the right thing. Like the award winning Fargo , The Big Lebowski is suffused with a droll humor and a verbal felicity that is as delightful as it is startling. The Big Lebowski - screenplay by the Coen brothers Joel and Ethan - has proved to be one of the biggest cult movies of the twentieth century, following the surreal adventures of Jeffrey Lebowski -alias 'The Dude'. Zusammenfassung The screenplay to another offbeat movie by the Academy Award-winning Coen brothers. As a result of a case of mistaken identity, Jeffrey Lebowski - alias The Dude - finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bag man - a situation that goes from bad to even worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners. Like the award-winning Fargo , The Big Lebowski is suffused with a droll humour and exhibits the Coen brothers' ability to frighten, entertain and startle the audience's expectations.
