O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?

O Brother, Where Art Thou? poster

 

George Clooney mugs and charms his way through the Depression-era South, escaping from a chain gang with fellow cons John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson and circuitously making his way back to wife Holly Hunter in a winking parody of Homer’s The Odyssey. Along the way Clooney and company pull a bank job with Baby Face Nelson, encounter backwoods magic, escape one-eyed Bible-selling maniac John Goodman, break up a Ku Klux Klan rally in high style, cut a hit single as the Soggy Bottom Boys, and race to find buried treasure in a valley on the verge of being flooded by the TVA.

DIR/SCR Joel Coen; SCR/PROD Ethan Coen; SCR based on Homer’s The Odyssey. UK/France/US, 2000, color, 107 min. Rated PG-13
