From the Publisher
The Life of the Mind
The Coen Brothers are America's most successful and critically praised independent filmmakers. Their highly idiosyncratic, stylish and exhilirating body of work has wowed the critics and public alike.

With two Oscars going to 'Fargo', the Academy and the studios alike are garnishing them with respectability. No Longer are their films restricted to the eclectic few who attend Cannes Film Festival (where 'Barton Fink' gained Joel the best director award). James Mottram's book is the first full length book to concentrate on the Coen brothers' work and includes an interview by the author with the brothers on their latest film, 'O Brother Where Are Thou?'
