Thema: A Serious Man [Coen Brothers]

Inhalt (Wikipedia):
The film is set in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in the year 1967, and is intended in some ways to reflect the childhood of the Coen brothers as they recall it.

The protagonist is Larry Gopnik, a Jewish academic living in a middle-class Jewish neighborhood in a Minneapolis suburb. The story follows Gopnik's spiritual and existential struggle as his wife Judith contemplates leaving him for his colleague Sy Ableman. Adding to his suffering is his ne'er-do-well brother, Arthur, who lacks the resources and the ability to care for himself and consequently lives on Larry's couch. Larry begins to question the value of his life as he deals with these and other trials, including his son, Danny, who steals money from his wallet to buy marijuana; his daughter, Sarah, who steals to finance a planned nose job;[4] a student who alternately attempts to bribe him for a passing grade and threatens to sue him for defamation (made all the worse because Larry is up for tenure); and a female neighbor who distracts him by sunbathing in the nude. Larry seeks advice from three different rabbis in an attempt to solve his problems and to become an austere and devoted man.


Trailer:

Cooler Trailer, der könnte richtig klasse werden.
Hat ein bisschen was von den Selbstfindungsfilmen, die hier ja (inkl. mir) einige Anhänger haben...

Die Story klingt extrem schwach - aber der Trailer ist in der Tat ganz gut.

Wuss!? Ich finde die Story ziemlich gut.

Ich meine der hook ist natürlich immer der gleiche, aber das war er ja auch bei GS, ET, BG, AB, ... Selbstfindung eben und Identitätskrise...

Wuss!? Ich finde die Story ziemlich gut.

Ich weiss auch nicht - aber die klingt irgendwie total 0815. Nicht schlecht oder so - aber halt auch nichts besonderes.
