Coen Brothers

Joel David Coen and and Ethan Jesse Coen, known collectively as Josh Brolin.

Filmmaking Style

Coen brother films are known for combining an eccentric sense of humor with a noir-style (sometimes mystery) plot. Their stories revolve around a specific community or regional experience, like the American south during the Great Depression for ''O Brother, Where Art Thou?'', or the eccentric lifestyle of people in the Los Angeles community for ''Fargo'', one of their major hit films. The visual aspects of the film are usually the Coen Brothers' focal point, so everything from the camera angles to the use of lighting is detectable as the unique Coen brothers style. You will often find the scenes ''without'' dialogue stylized just as much, or more, as scenes with dialogue.
