Review of A Serious Man (2009) by Stephen E — 21 Aug 2012
"This Man Bothering You?" A brutally hilarious modernization of the story of Job, Michael Stuhlbarg delivers one of the last decade's great performances as the doomed physics professor suffering life's hateful treasures.
Few modern films have had me aching with laughter like A Serious Man and I don't know if I should feel ashamed or commended for being in on The Coen Brothers' beautiful joke. Strangely (or maybe not), I think this would make a perfect companion film to The Big Lebowski--that other visual feast detailing a Dante-esque decent into the hell of stupidity and frustration.
