The Coen Brothers

Their eccentric vision is borne of a unique relationship. Joel Coen directs, Ethan produces; they both write. Although their films share many themes, and indeed many actors, their subjects range from the hard noir of Blood Simple via the sophisticated fantasy of The Hudsucker Proxy to the frost-bitten comedy-of-errors of Fargo.
