When it comes to writing, few people seem to have complete mastery over every aspect like the Coen brothers do. Their characters leap off the page, dialogue sings, and their plots fit the genre and audience expectations, but still manage to surprise and entertain us.
To me, they’re two of the best living filmmakers, and no matter what they create, I always try to be first in line to watch.
The Coens’ films are incredible showcases, but there’s also lots to learn about process, technique, and mastery from them.
