Details: Product Description It's comic gold as two of Hollywood's most dazzling stars - George Clooney and Academy Award-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones - light up the screen in Intolerable Cruelty, a hilarious romantic comedy about men, women, and everything that can go wrong between them. Sparks fly when brilliant divorce attorney Miles Massey (Clooney) meets his match in the beautiful but ruthless Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones). From Academy Award-winning directors Joel Coen and Ethan Coen (Fargo; O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Intolerable Cruelty also stars multi-talented Billy Bob Thornton and outrageous Cedric The Entertainer. Amazon.ca One produces, the other directs, but the two Coen brothers have been writing together since 1984. Approaching with a truly original talent some of the emblematic genres of American cinema (crime, musical comedy, etc.), they let themselves slip not without humor on the shores of romantic comedy with Intolerable Cruelty. Miles Massey (George Clooney) is the most effective divorce lawyer there is. Intelligent, charismatic and funny, he is seduction itself. Marylin Rexroth (Catherine Zeta-Jones), meanwhile, has almost made divorce her profession. Beautiful, poisonous and feline, she is manipulation incarnate. Obviously, their meeting, in a big game of who will scam the other, will make sparks. From the prologue and the credits, the Coen brothers reassure us: their irony and second-degree humor have not been diluted in the codes of the romantic genre. On the contrary. Quirky characters, staging bordering on burlesque and verve of the dialogues serve the film without ever transforming it into a parody. Because the Coens respect the genre, no doubt. As proof, the luminous and elegant realization, the charm of Clooney (whose self-mockery abilities make him even more irresistible) and the sophistication of Zeta-Jones. Unexpected, subtle and dynamic, Intolerable Cruelty pays a beautiful tribute to love. Surprising extra takes, a making of and a costume documentary complete the DVD nicely. – Helen Faradji.
