From ""Raising Arizona"" to the academy-award-winning ""No Country for Old Men"", the films of the Coen brothers have made an unmistakable imprint on Hollywood. ""The Philosophy of the Coen Brothers"" explores concepts such as justice, the problem of interpretation, existential role-playing, the philosophy of comedy, and the coldness of modernity. This volume is not just for die-hard Lebowski Fest attendees, but for anyone who enjoys big ideas on the big screen.
