A Serious Man is a seriously good departure for Coens
After spending a quartercentury making intriguingly edgy, smart films that have little to do with their own experience, the Coen brothers have gone back to their roots. And getting personal suits them.
Like their best films, "A Serious Man’ is a dark comedy with a pervasive sense of unease. But the milieu harks back to the Coens’ childhood. And while the atmosphere --with its painstaking attention to details of the era - may be familiar to those who grew up in the '60s and '70s, the story is wholly original.
"A Serious Man" is a wonderfully odd, bleakly comic and thoroughly engrossing film. Underlying the grim humour are serious questions about faith, family, mortality and misfortune.
The year is 1967, and Larry Gopnick (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a Midwestern college professor, a decent, hardworking father and husband whose life unravels when his wife, Judith (Sari Lennick), announces she's leaving him for their smarmy acquaintance Sy (Fred Melamed). Shortly thereafter, his oddball live-in
brother, Arthur (Richard Kind), gets in trouble with the law.
Larry is focused on attaining tenure, but also grappling with a disgruntled student and a threatened lawsuit. His son, Danny (Aaron Wolff), is preparing for his bar mitzvah but seems far more interested
would instantly feel sympathy. Beset by a mountain of problems, he consults those who he hopes can help him -rabbis, a lawyer and even a dentist in absentia. Those interactions often are hilarious, as is the unctuous sympathy shown by Sy, who showers Larry with awkward hugs
in smoking pot and amassing a collection of the latest rock records. His daughter, Sarah (Jessica McManus), is reduced to sitcom caricature, hell-bent on getting a nose job.
But Larry is a righteous man for whom the audience
and addresses him in a funereal tone.
The story takes place in a setting the Coens know intimately, having grown up in Minnesota with parents in academia. Although the tale is fictional, Joel Coen has pointed out that Larry is a
middle-aged Jewish father in a community similar to the one in which they grew up.
The Film opens with a prologue set in a Polish shtetl, filmed in Yiddish with English subtitles. It's mildly amusing but difficult to put in context with the larger story, and a bit of a weak link.
That doesn't take away from the overall saga, however, which is completely absorbing and hinges on the pitch-perfect performance by the Tony-winning Stuhlbarg. The Coens have said they were looking for a face that would be unfamiliar to film audiences. Stuhlbarg is primarily a stage actor, and his casting is brilliant.
The story takes unexpected twists and is exquisitely mounted, with an evocative score by longtime Coen collaborator Carter Burwell.
"A Serious Man," while less commercial and star-studded than their last two films --2008's "Burn After Reading" and 2007‘s Oscar-winning "No Country for Old Men"-- is intimate, provocative and wickedly witty.
