Are you sure, you want to add A Serious Man
to your wish list?
Storyline:
Bloomington, Minnesota, 1967: Jewish physics lecturer Larry Gopnik is a serious and a very put-upon man. His daughter is stealing from him to save up for a nose job, his pot-head son, who gets stoned at his own bar-mitzvah, only wants him round to fix the TV aerial and his useless brother Arthur is an unwelcome house guest. But both Arthur and Larry get turfed out into a motel when Larry's wife Judy, who wants a divorce, moves her lover, Sy, into the house and even after Sy's death in a car crash they are still there. With lawyers' bills mounting for his divorce, Arthur's criminal court appearances and a land feud with a neighbour Larry is tempted to take the bribe offered by a student to give him an illegal exam pass mark. And the rabbis he visits for advice only dole out platitudes. Still God moves in mysterious - and not always pleasant - ways, as Larry and his family will find out.

This is a moderately thought provoking film based on the culture that the Coen brothers grew up in and apparently know well, although any other culture could have been subjected to the same treatment. It provides an incisive, intense, and apt caricature of that culture, and some surrounding ethnicities. It is designed to make one think hard about all you have ever been taught or all you ever considered valid about the meaning of ife. The protagonist is a serious man who struggles to comprehend his life's tragedies and turns of fate as these call into question many religious, moral and philosophical truisms that the Coen brothers subject to paradoy. It is highly amusing and intriguing without being a comedy while its intellectual themes are boldly espoused through humor as well as tragedy. I especially loved the elderly rabbi who quoted Jefferson Airplane. It left me thinking that the Coen brothers really got it right: "Is there a meaning to life?"

The Coen Brothers this time are very creative useing the Jewish household (lifestyle) as a tool to pursue the existential question -" why do people want answers from god when bad things happen to them". The opening scene (prologue) sets up the premise of the movie = sometimes the devil or evilness simply "visits" your household. Why do bad things happen to good people? The main character seems to live a happy 60's era suburban life but suddenly comes home to see his world collapseing around him. As a result he does a continuous "why me" dance thru out the movie, as he goes from rabbi to rabbi seeking answers. In funny scenes the rabbis provide useless help. The final scene further drives home the point of the movie; when a tornado bears down on his town. What is more uncontollable, unfair and unpredictable than a tornado? Sometimes life is like that. It tears your world apart.

The characters in this movie are painfully familiar... like many relatives. This made it both hard to watch and funny. Not the typical Coen Bros. movie.
