Die Coens und der Film noir – das ist eine alte Liebesgeschichte, die 1984 mit «Blood Simple» begann, sich in «Miller's Crossing» (1990), «Fargo» (1996) und «The Big Lebowski» (1998) fortsetzte und in «The Man Who Wasn't There» einen lakonischen, kongenial schwarzweißen Höhepunkt erreichte. Bei den Gruppengesprächen zum Film in Cannes 2001 erwies sich die große Frances McDormand als diejenige, die die vernünftigsten Aussagen machte. Billy Bob Thornton schwebte damals auf Wolke sieben wegen seiner Frau Angelina Jolie, deren Blut er um den Hals trug, und die Coens waren für ihre Begriffe zwar gesprächig, aber wie immer mehrheitlich vage, aber unterhaltsam. The Coens and film noir – that old love story began in 1984 with "Blood Simple", continued in "Miller's Crossing" (1990), "Fargo" (1996) and "The Big Lebowski" (1998) and reached a laconic, appropriately black-and-white climax in "The Man Who Wasn't There". At the round tables for the film at Cannes in 2001, the great Frances McDormand proved to be the source of the most sensible statements. Billy Bob Thornton was floating on cloud nine at the time because of his wife Angelina Jolie, whose blood he was wearing around his neck, and the Coens were talkative by their standards but as always mostly vague, albeit entertaining.

Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) are both big fans of many of the Coen's films, but both still have some gaps in their filmography. In fact, by the end of this month, Jonathan will have completed viewing all of the directed films by the brother duo, an accomplishment he's been waiting on for a couple of years. For Corey, it's a chance to check off two major early films from the Coen's that she just hadn't gotten around to watching...until now. As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all. Week 2: Miller's Crossing (1990) One of Corey's biggest gaps is the beloved Miller's Crossing (1990). A good friend and podcast collaborator Michael Sanchez recommended this years ago and Berk watched it during his initial run of 366 in 366. The film stars Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney, John Turturro (another Coen regular), and others in this gritty crime drama.

Forget what you heard about FARGO (1996): BARTON FINK is actually the Coens' most autobiographical movie. Telling the bizarre odyssey of self-righteous playwright-turned-Hollywood screenwriter Barton Fink, the film was scripted during a bout of writer's block while making MILLER'S CROSSING (1990) – and counting the rings of this script, that adds up. It indicts Barton himself (no small feat in a movie where John Goodman does what he does in this one) by questioning any writer's ability, intent, and responsibility to write for "the common man". This episode is the sixth and final in our short series on a selection of Coen Brothers films screened at the Trylon Cinema in 2019. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.

Featuring special guest Eric Leith! In Tom Reagan's gritty gangster world, caring is a quick way to get yourself shot. It's too bad, then, that he cares very much about Leo O'Bannon, his Irish mob boss, and Verna Bernbaum, the woman they both think they love. When Verna's brother runs afoul of the rival Italian mafia, Tom is forced to reconcile the charge of his position, his loyalty to Leo, and the pain in his heart. "What heart?"

Then they dive into the next film, Miller's Crossing. They talk about Jon Polito, the hat, and the meaning of the Tom's actions. Phillip then brings up The Burbs again.

[Watch the video interview on our YouTube Channel] Carter Burwell is a true auteur of his craft, and one of the most respected and cherished composers working in the industry. While he’s mostly known for his work with The Coen Brothers, his entire filmography is filled with treasures. For this All Access we sit down and discuss Carter's unique path to becoming a composer, including how he met The Coen Brothers to score Blood Simple and kickoff an unexpected career as a composer. We walk through some of Carter's most memorable Coen brothers scores including Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Fargo, True Grit, No Country For Old Men and their recent collaboration on The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs. Carter shares stories such as how he had to write some score for Inside Llewyn Davis just to convince the Coens they didn’t want score. Outside of Carter's work with the Coens, we look at his work with Martin McDonagh and Spike Jonze. Hear Carter breakdown his music in films like In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Being John Malkovich and Where The Wild Things Are. Some other discussion points include why Carter decides to live in New York vs Los Angeles, where the first note comes from, the new trend of movies coming directly to Netflix, working on bigger budget studio films, and his views on where the industry stands today. Carter's brilliant insight and warm personality are a true delight, and you won't find a more incredible view on the craft of film scoring than through Carter Burwell. It was an absolute joy and honor to have him as a guest on this All Access. Interview Produced & Presented By Kaya Savas Special Thanks: Carter Burwell, Jeff Sanderson, Chasen PR

Note: your "Coen Brothers Ranked" lists may need some readjusting. Especially if you haven't seen - or haven't seen in a long while - the Coens densely plotted and impeccably cast third feature, MILLER'S CROSSING. The period gangster picture was a revelatory experience in Josh's early cinematic life, but it had been a couple decades since his last visit. Likewise for Adam. After getting unceremoniously bounced in the first round of the Best of the 90s Filmspotting Madness tournament, they decided to give "Crossing" another look and find it somehow an even greater achievement than those ecstatic first impressions. A couple decades watching Coen Brothers movies can, it seems, help you see even their earlier work more clearly. (And, oh man, that Carter Burwell score.)

We discuss everything from the basics of coordinating a busy and multifaceted career to spending years working with the Disney company, to one of his favorite movies... this week's Sofa Theater feature: Conan the Barbarian. From the Robert E. Howard pulp beginnings to the black and white Marvel comics to Arnold Schwarzenegger's interpretation in the film world... we discuss a multitude of themes and aspects of Conan. And as we realize we are effectively just beloved, we also mention... James Earl Jones, The Princess Bride, Talk Soup, First Blood, it takes a couple of whacks, a modern studio system, Braveheart, directing the show, it's always been about the hustle, wolf pelts, manipulation of the gods, such a firewall between the organizations, homogenized network television, going down through the red light district knocking on doors, a great Wayne Newton-style villain, Andy Lau, Bill Burr, the biggest bottlenecks in creativity, making a snake arrow, the three jobs at one involved in stand-up, there's always a wild west aspect whenever industry goes through a transition period, the worst book that's ever happened to film, Cape Fear, Miller's Crossing, I think we're changing how we deal with ageing, the first Disney show to blind someone, cut someone's arm off, crush their leg... and kill someone, the industry is finally catching up to people's actual tastes, let a villain be a villain, doing Deniro, it's like living on a tightrope, I don't do a single job that's one thing, Every Which You Can, The Running Man, he's the Adam Sandler of action movies, Jim Jones and the Manson family... meets Cyrus from The Warriors, I find it a motivational... I find it very invigorating, it's always somebody's fault, viking hair, nano-computers combing your hair, it was a much more visceral reading experience, a masculine romance, Rocky Balboa, Kylo Ren, playing hash, a very Scandinavian way of doing it, the blood was in black ink, The Crow, Kurt Russell, disappearing into music, I felt so manipulated by the network, Chris Evans, muscle men and scantily clad women, The Expendables, we actually sliced a woman in half, shred metal and jazz, Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth, Dudley Moore, why some actors are considered difficult, Excalibur, Mr. T, I now go in with an assumption that whatever it is is doomed, no notes from the network, an 80's stand-up comic in sneakers and a sport coat and an iron age bank heist. Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for John Milius' Conan the Barbarian. So go watch the movie before you listen.

While the world debates the merits (or lack thereof) of Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Adrian and his Canadian compadre Aidan Wilson discuss another controversial Batman story. Legendary comic book creator Frank Miller is best known for some noteworthy comics from a run on Daredevil to The Dark Knight Returns to the infamous graphic novel Holy Terror. Considering the fallout from the latter title, there was some concern that The Dark Knight III: The Master Race would be more of the same. How does the story stack up to the iconic original? Which iteration of Batman is the definitive version? Is Frank Miller the "racist uncle" version of George Lucas?

Somewhere in between there is the artist that falls in love with a story so much that they need to re-live it again in another place and time.

For their third film, the Coen brothers decided to again make something completely different from what they've done before. With "Miller's Crossing," they made a gangster picture that honors conventions of the genre while also twisting those conventions, just as they did with "Blood Simple." And it worked for some people while not for others (and lead to a big bomb at the box office). Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — on this week's episode of The Next Reel as we continue our Drama by the Brothers Coen series with 1990s "Miller's Crossing." We talk about what we think of the film and why it's largely been a film that's been hard for both of us to get into over the years, yet one in which we finally connected this time — and liked quite a bit. We discuss the amazing performances from top to bottom in this film and what all of the wonderful actors — Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, Albert Finney, Jon Polito, John Turturro, J.E. Freeman, etc. — bring to the table. We chat about the role of the hat worn and lost time and time again by Tommy, Byrne's character, and what we think the Coens are saying with it. And we chat about some of the amazing production crew — Barry Sonnenfeld and Carter Burwell in particular — and why they stand out. (And we completely left out the amazing production designer Dennis Gassner and costume designer Richard Hornung, along with countless others — stellar work, all of you!). It's a tough film to follow but we both really got a lot out of it this time and had a great time talking about it. Check it out and tune in!

Stuart Heisler's 1942 film THE GLASS KEY retained the personages and major plot twists of Dashiell Hammett's 1930 novel by the same name, but wiped the grim off the original tale. By cleaning up the characters and their motives, the film missed an opportunity to picture its stellar cast (Dunlevy, Ladd, and Lake) in a noir light. Instead, for much of its running time it looks and feels like the glamour whodunnit pictures, or populist clean-government reform films, of the 1930's. Hammett's novel finally received proper treatment in the Coens' 1990 masterpiece MILLER'S CROSSING. Though filmed in color, this movie borrows heavily from classical noir, and gives us characters as complex and morally flawed as any envisioned by Hammett. This podcast—the third double-feature of "Out of the Past" to examine how the Coens' films have been inspired by the fiction of Cain, Chandler, and Hammett, as well as previous film adaptations of these masters of hardboiled—is brought to you by Clute and Edwards of www.noircast.net.

Orson Welles's 1958 "Touch of Evil" is considered the last film noir of the classic period. Clute and Edwards investigate why it deserves this designation, arguing that it uses the conventions of noir in such a self-conscious manner that henceforth it will be impossible to tell a straight noir tale. Indeed the film is so self-conscious that it is no more a narrative than it is a demonstration of how to create film narrative. It is considered a great film for this reason, but also because it features myriad strong acting turns, stages Welles's dramatic demise as a Hollywood player, and contains story and character seeds that will come to fruition in films as different as "Psycho" and "Miller's Crossing."
