Details: Amazon.ca Santa Rosa, 1949. What can go on in the head of a hairdresser who is bored to death? To find out, there's nothing like the singular inspiration and talent of the Coen brothers. With real-fake flashbacks, waking dreams and haunting tracking shots, they tirelessly pursue their auscultation of America, this time tackling a genre never before tackled: film noir. And fleetingly pass the memories of the Postman Always Rings Twice, of Insurance on Death or of The Shadow of a Doubt. Melancholy voice-over, sumptuous black and white – due to their usual director, Roger Deakins –, heavy and sticky atmosphere, swirls of cigarette smoke, blackmail that goes wrong, all the codes of the genre are perfectly respected and sublimated here. But it is to better lead to the absurd and distressing universe of a Kierkegaard or a Camus. A sort of post-atomic existential nightmare – 1949 corresponding to the explosion of the first Soviet bomb – this Barber allowed the Coen brothers to win their third Best Director Award at Cannes in less than 10 years! A sign of the fertility and richness of the universe of two of the greatest contemporary filmmakers. And which offers the opportunity to rediscover their favorite actors – Jon Polito, Frances McDormand, Michael Badalucco – alongside an imperial Billy Bob Thornton, granite and mineral, funereal and disenchanted. --Sylvain Lefort Product description The Man Who Wasn't There
