The Coen brothers' new film

This. looks. amazing. Cathleen Falsani has written a book (The Dude Abides, The Gospel According to the Coen Brothers) analyzing the spiritual themes of each of the Coen brothers' movies. I learned of this awesome new book from an article in the Salt Lake Tribune.

The release of Falsani's book also coincides with the Coens' new movie, A Serious Man, which is loosely based on the Biblical story of Job. I am sooo looking forward to seeing the movie. Unfortunately, the Oct. 2 U.S. release date is limited, and I have been unable to find any information about when the film will arrive in Tennessee — depressing.

According to the review I read, the film should live up to the high standards set by their other films, of which Fargo is my favorite. (My boyfriend's favorite is Burn After Reading, which is also excellent.)
