A person goes to the cinema to see a film by the Coen brothers, and expects a particular type of film (film tragicomic characters on the edge of ridicule for their psychological profile, never boring plot, twists burst), remaining almost always satisfied ...
Well, not really the case of this film.
First, is exasperated at the edge side of the tragi-comic story, the characters are overly ridiculous, the plot, in order not to fall in boredom is too fragmented and there are twists and turns than in a Spy-Story of the worst films of series B.
But with this I do not want to say evil: the true lovers of the comedy of the Coen will appreciate in full a Brad Pitt turned into a lewd and decerebration fitness instructor, an avid Clooney in a sex maniac, a McDormand in a dull and foolish old girl obsessed with his appearance.
How many times did you go to the movies and you are left with the strong desire to rent a DVD because the movie just seen you are not satisfied in full?
Well, this is the desire that I took.
And not because the film I had not met, but because after "No Country for Old Men" also seemed that the black humor of the Coen had taken a different turn, and under this impression, I was expecting something very different from "Burn After Reading."
But only those who have always followed the Coens can learn the lesson of their prince comedies should not be necessarily a sense, the actions of a character in the unfolding of a story, the moral of a film, everything is simply in its own right and has its own peculiarities.
This is not to humiliate you by saying that you have not seen nearly all of the Coen films are not up to my culture * film, I would just say that over the years, the Coens have created their own unique way of understanding comedy, especially playing on stereotypes that affect the average American.
Oh, and, so to speak, when out of the cinema I have not rented a DVD at all, but I dedicated myself to anything ...
* even if the temptation is strong
