Notebook Reviews: O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?

Joel Coen – 2000.

O Brother, Where Art Thou is deftly handled comedy from the Coen Brothers.

The 1930s-set film features a terrific wide-eyed turn from George Clooney as an escaped convict. Jon Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson also deliver on-point supporting turns in this ‘modern day’ take on Homer’s Odyssey. 

Impressive visuals and excellent music from T Bone Burnett add to O Brother, Where Art Thou‘s charms. 

Great stuff.
