a serious man

I watched the newest Coen brothers film, A Serious Man tonight. This was vastly different than just about all of their previous films. It was darker, crueler, and much more obscure. The others were mostly pretty obvious in what was happening, and why. This one used confusion or a lack of clarity as its central theme, and did so perfectly. The basic plot is that the leading man is beset by one tragedy after another, without any explanation why. The supporting cast was amazing. This was really well done, and thought provoking.
