commercially successful,
increasingly larger audiences and
. Shunning fame and
celebrity, Ethan and Joel Coen remain maverick filmmakers,
producing and directing independent films outside the
Hollywood mainstream in a unique style, combining classic
genres like film noir with black comedy to tell off-beat stories
about America and the American Dream. This volume provides
an overview of Academy Award-winners and cult favorites alike,
examining the development of the Coens’ body of work by
identifying and analyzing major themes and generic constructs,
and offering diverse interpretative approaches to their enigmatic
films. Drawing on a wide array of sources, especially the pulp
fiction of Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain and Raymond
Chandler, it examines the influence of these literary sources as well
as key cinematic precursors to reveal how the Coens’ intertextual
creativity exemplifies the aesthetics of postmodernism. J
