Coen brothersIm a bit puzzled why most critics think Millers Crossing is their best — Coen brothers
"Im a bit puzzled why most critics think Millers Crossing is their best. I find it too cold and postmodern. But pretty much everything else is amazing. I think some of their lesser-loved films, like The Hudsucker Proxy and The Man Who Wasnt There are my favourites. But then, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, No Country For Old Men… Theyre really the best films of our time. The Coens are better candidates for heroes of modern literature than Philip Roth, Don DeLillo, Will Self, Ian McEwan or any other award-winning novelist."
