Product Description
Chronique Amazon.fr
Santa Rosa, 1949. Que peut-il bien se passer dans la tête d'un coiffeur qui s'ennuie à crever ? Pour le savoir, rien de tel que l'inspiration et le talent singuliers des frères Coen. À coups de vrais-faux flash-backs, de songes éveillés et de lancinants travelings, ils poursuivent inlassablement leur auscultation de l'Amérique en s'attaquant cette fois-ci à un genre encore jamais abordé : le film noir. Et passent fugitivement les souvenirs du Facteur sonne toujours deux fois, d'Assurance sur la mort ou de L'ombre d'un doute. Voix-off mélancolique, somptueux noir et blanc – dû à leur chef-op habituel, Roger Deakins –, ambiance lourde et poisseuse, volutes de fumées de cigarettes, chantage qui tourne mal, tous les codes du genre sont ici parfaitement respectés et sublimés. Mais c'est pour mieux déboucher sur l'univers absurde et angoissant d'un Kierkegaard ou d'un Camus. Sorte de cauchemar existentiel post-atomique – 1949 correspondant à l'explosion de la première bombe soviétique –, ce Barber permet aux frères Coen de décrocher leur troisième Prix de la mise en scène à Cannes en moins de 10 ans ! Signe de la fécondité et de la richesse de l'univers de deux des plus grands cinéastes contemporains. Et qui offre l'occasion de redécouvrir leurs acteurs fétiches – Jon Polito, Frances McDormand, Michael Badalucco – aux côtés d'un impérial Billy Bob Thornton, granitique et minéral, funèbre et désenchanté. --Sylvain Lefort

The Editor Who Wasn't There,
By A Customer
This review is from: Man Who Wasnt There Movie Tie In (Paperback)
This latest tale from the Coen Brothers is a perfectly realized portrait of modern man's plight as just another gear in the hair-cutting machine. Dread and laughs abound, in equal measure. And, by the way, Roderick Jaynes, the film editor who introduces the screenplay, doesn't actually exist. Whenever the Coens edit one of their movies themselves, they use "Jaynes" as a pseudonym.

Another Solid Script,
By
This review is from: Man Who Wasnt There Movie Tie In (Paperback)
Even in their less succesful films, the Coen brothers never fail to deliver something interesting. TMWWT-their latest film, and areturn to the neo-noir territory of Blood Simple-is no exception. Even though it goes slightly off the rails in the last twenty minutes, the film is full of the entertaining oddballs one expects from them. The book is the shooting script, which upon first read doesn't appear to have any deviations from the finished film, along with a three page introduction by their film editor, Roderick Jaynes, in which he discusses the genesis of the title. Good reading for aspiring screen (and other) writers.

The Coen Brothers are at it again!,
By Dr. Louie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man Who Wasnt There Movie Tie In (Paperback)
If you like the Coen Brothers (Barton Fink), Alfred Hitchcock, and Rod Serling then you will love this movie. Be prepared to sit back and relax. If you are already tense, this won't help you relax because you will be waiting for things to happen with a movie that shuffles as slowly as Prissy. Don't think I didn't like it because I did...laughed out loud at least 3 or 4 times, but I laughed AT the movie, not with it. If you like weird movies you will love this. I loved it even though it is a little weird. Pure Coen/Hitchcock/Serling!
