"A great gift for any Coen fan-boy or fan-girl in your life." ―NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour



Combining critical text--biography, close film analysis, and enlightening interviews with key Coen collaborators--with a visual aesthetic that honors the Coens' singular mix of darkness and levity, The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together is film critic Adam Nayman's carefully crafted effort to plot, as he puts it, "some Grand Unified Theory of Coen-ness."



Ethan and Joel Coen have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice in modern American cinema. They have given movie fans classics of all types--comedy, history, drama, romance. Their movies have a distinctive style and point of view: hilarious, sad, thoughtful, musical, sometimes all at once. When someone says a movie is Coen Brothers-like, every serious movie lover knows exactly what they mean.



Adam Nayman carefully sifts through their complex cinematic universe and covers their popular, award-winning, and unforgettable creations:
  • The Big Lebowski
  • Raising Arizona
  • Fargo
  • Inside Llewyn Davis
  • O Brother, Where Art Thou
  • Barton Fink
  • Miller's Crossing
  • Blood Simple
  • The Hudsucker Proxy
  • And more!
Featuring film stills, beautiful and evocative illustrations, punchy infographics, and hard insight, this is the definitive exploration of the Coen brothers' oeuvre.



"Filled with glossy, well-chosen pictures as well as thoughtful, eloquent analysis." ―Filmmaker
