A Serious Man
Leaving December 31
•
1h 45m
Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen • 2009 • United States
Starring Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, Fred Melamed
The Coen brothers’ acerbic, anxiety-inducing portrait of a man in crisis features a sensational performance from Michael Stuhlbarg as a 1960s Jewish physics professor at a Minnesota university whose life begins to unravel when his wife (Sari Lennick) announces she is leaving him and his socially inept brother (Richard Kind) moves into his house and refuses to leave. A Job-like tale of midcentury suburban despair, A SERIOUS MAN is a hypnotic blend of the darkly comedic and the tragic.
