Focus Features - Burn After Reading

With their overtly comedic follow-up BURN AFTER READING, the Coen Brothers return-about a third of the way-from the dark, dank recesses of the human psyche they traversed in their Oscar- winning NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. For those unfamiliar with the landscape of modern movie psychoanalysis, this puts the fraternal filmmakers square in the cruel, misanthropic, and farcical realm of their 1990s- era body of work, somewhere between the tragicomic crime thriller of FARGO and the disconnected noir-homage anti-storytelling of THE BIG LEBOWSKI, with 2007's NO COUNTRY retroactively adding new nihilism-tinged dimensions of smart skepticism to the proceedings.
