Life and Work of the Coen Brothers

JOEL COEN (Nov 1954) : Director and Screen writer.
EHAN COEN (Sept 1957) : Producer and Screen writer
  • They began independent film making in the early 80's. They began writing screen plays and made their debut in 1984 with 'Blood Simple'
  • Together they're considered one of the most visionary and idiosyncratic film makers of the late 20th centuary
  • They combine thoughtful eccentricity, wry humour, arch irony and often brutal violence.
  • Their film making style reworks and pays tribute to classic American genres - especially film noir - while sustaining a firmly post-modern feel
  • Typical Coen trademarks include; a complex plot, bizarre situations and nasty criminals.
