Brought completely up to date, this insightful biography remains a must for any selfrespecting Coen fan (Screentrade).This fully updated edition of the first biography of the Coen Brothers includes their complete work so far, from Blood Simple to Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), with a reassessment of their remarkable career as a whole. Joel and Ethan Coen have pulled off the ultimate balancing act. Despite having their movies financed and distributed by major studios, they have managed to remain true independents, rejecting commercial clichs and never giving up on their own fiercely idiosyncratic vision. While doing so, they have established themselves among the worlds leading filmmakers.From their startling debut, Blood Simple (1984), all of their movies reveal a distinctive stamp: a flamboyant visual style, richly conceived characters, crisp dialogue, and brilliant casting. They have revitalized old Hollywood genres such as noir, screwball, and the western, giving them a contemporary sensibility. In this biography, Ronald Bergan traces the brothers Jewish roots, their beginnings as film geeks in suburban Minneapolis, their battle to get their first feature made and released, through their early features and the movies of their maturity. He gives blowbyblow accounts of the making of each movie. New chapters cover all those released since O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), with which the first edition of this book ended.

The Coen Brothers' second edition is a good read, but I expected more details. While it covers their iconic films, it could have explored some lesser-known works better. Still, it's nice to have on my shelf and is enjoyable for casual fans.

Great Content, But Poor Packaging
I love the Coen Brothers, so I was thrilled to get this second edition book. However, it arrived with a bent corner, which was disappointing. The write-ups inside are fantastic, but I wish the packaging was better to prevent damage during shipping.

Disappointed with the Edition Changes
I was excited about the Coen Brothers' second edition but found it lacking compared to the first. Some sections felt repetitive and the updates weren't as insightful as I hoped. It's still a decent read, but I expected more from a second edition.
