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 both Coen brothers have been writing screenplays together since 1984. Approaching some of the iconic genres of American cinema (crime, musical...) with truly original talent, they slip, not without humor, onto the shores of the 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), for her part, has almost made divorce her profession. Beautiful, poisonous, and feline, she is manipulation incarnate. Obviously, their meeting, in a high-stakes game of who can scam the other, will create sparks. From the prologue and the opening credits, the Coen brothers reassure us: their irony and second-degree humor have not been diluted by the codes of the romantic genre. On the contrary. Offbeat characters, direction bordering on slapstick, and spirited dialogue serve the film without ever turning it into a parody. For the Coens undoubtedly respect the genre. Proof of this can be found in the bright and elegant direction, the charm of Clooney (whose capacity for self-deprecation makes him even more irresistible), and the sophistication of Zeta-Jones. Unexpected, subtle, and dynamic, Intolerable Cruelty pays a beautiful tribute to love. Surprising outtakes, a making-of featurette, and a documentary on the costumes pleasantly round out the DVD. – Helen Faradji.
