It does provide some insights into their influences, which are mostly literary, and how they adapted certain plot lines into their films. It reads like a fan-boy piece with a mission to elevate their films into serious existential commentary. It's because there's no hint of the filmmakers having a single flaw that makes it tiresome; he merely avoids analysis of their weaker films entirely. The author leaves that to his quotes from negative film reviews. A serious critical study it is not -- there's no discussion on how women are treated in their work, for instance.

The films of the Coen brothers have become a contemporary cultural phenomenon. Highly acclaimed and commercially successful, over the years their movies have attracted increasingly larger audiences and spawned a subculture of dedicated fans. Shunning fame and celebrity, Ethan and Joel Coen remain maverick filmmakers, producing and directing independent films outside the Hollywood mainstream in a unique style combining classic genres like film noir with black comedy to tell off-beat stories about America and the American Dream. This study surveys Oscar-winning films, such as Fargo (1996) and No Country for Old Men (2007), as well as cult favorites, including O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) and The Big Lebowski (1998). Beginning with Blood Simple (1984), it examines major themes and generic constructs and offers diverse approaches to the Coens' enigmatic films. Pointing to the pulp fiction of Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Raymond Chandler, the study appreciates the postmodern aesthetics of the Coens' intertextual creativity.
