Joel and Ethan Coen are some of the most iconic filmmakers in the last century. Their wild stories, exquisite casting, and genre-defying work make every movie unique. From the dark humor of “Fargo” to the intense dread of “No Country for Old Men” to the quiet character study of “Inside Llewyn Davis” and the bombast of “The Big Lebowski,” few filmmakers can claim as much truly original work as these talented brothers.
