The Coen brothers peer into the existential abyss of the atomic age in this coolly riveting, drolly profound noir thriller. In a performance of masterfully calibrated understatement, Billy Bob Thornton stars as a disaffected barber in 1940s California whose suspicion that his wife (Frances McDormand) is cheating on him leads him down a crooked path of blackmail and murder. Fusing the expressionistic black and white and hard-boiled poetry of classic noir with their own idiosyncratic feeling for sinister, surreal Americana, Joel and Ethan Coen craft an arresting vision of the cruelty of fate and the mystery of our place in the cosmos.

the coen brothers are back with a dark and twisted film noir unlike anything you've ever seen. set in a small 1949 california town, this is the story of a seemingly simple barber, who turns to blackmail and revenge to escape his achingly dull life. but in the tradition of classic noir, nothing goes as planned and nothing is as it seems. and as the barber's plot unrravels, the delicious surprises, stunning revelations and just plain strange occurrences will dusturb adn delight you long after the film has endet.

    Einer der besten Filme überhaupt: Billy Bob Thornton: himmlisch, Musik: überwältigend, Bilder: epochal. Muss man gesehen haben.

    mit einem unverkennbaren Humor.
    Billy Bob Thornton spielt grossartig? Weil er keine Mine verzieht? Nein will ihn nicht mies machen, mir gefällt er auch;-) Bis am Schluss weiss man eigentlich nicht so genau was in ihm vorgeht, trotz seines Off-Kommentars der normalerweise dazu verwendet wird um Dinge klarer zu machen oder das innere einer Person zu zeigen....Hier nicht. Auch dieser Film ist sehr einfallsreich und unterhaltsam auf hohem Niveau.

  • Ein Meisterwerk!!!

  • GROSSES LOB AN DIE COEN-BRÜDER!

    Written on 21. May 2002 by kritikator.

    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    ...eine traurige und doch humorvolle geschichte die für "coen-fans" einfach unwiderstehlich ist. ungewohnt in schwarz-weiss, aber einfach hervorragend, mit einem billy bob thornton bei dem eine bewertung mit "in höchstform" gar nicht zu vergleichen ist, er spielt üüüberwältigend! dialoge wirken durch das schwarz-weiss-bild viel intensiver, der film lebt nur von den dialogen! in farbe wäre der film nicht vorzustellen! EIN MEISTERWERK !!!!
