A Serious Man is another Cohen brothers production in which they direct, write, and produce the film and I believe this to be their best one yet. It's about a devout Jewish man who leads a decent life and when his wife wants a divorce his life starts to spin out of control. The acting is fantastic, every role is amazingly casted no matter how small. The music, soundtrack and score alike fit perfectly from Jewish Torah tunes to stoner tracks are all great. The story and writing are both thought-provoking and enjoyable there's never a bland moment. The best parts are the three Rabbis who each say something funny and philosophical. The point to this film is that everything has a reason to be there, deteriorating this man's life one step at a time. It's great!
The Verdict:
A Serious Man is a mildly humorous and immensely entertaining melodramatic comedy that certainly shouldn't be missed and is a definite Oscar contender in March 2010. It may be hard to find a theater to see it in, but it is 100% worth any effort to see it right now. So what are you waiting for? Your Internet works so look up times now! What are you doing? Go! Oh wait you'll probably want to see my score first. Okay but then you have to go. I give A Serious Man five politically incorrect South Koreans who want a good Physics grade out of five. 5/5.
