A Serious Man

September 10 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

USA 2009, 12A, 106 mins, English, Yiddish

Director Joel & Ethan Coen, featuring Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind

Academy Award-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen return to their comedy roots with this original and darkly humorous story set in Minnesota about one ordinary man’s quest to become a serious man. Physics professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) can’t believe his life – his wife is leaving him for his best friend, his unemployed brother won’t move off the couch, someone is threatening his career, his kids are a mystery and his neighbour is tormenting him by sunbathing nude. Struggling to make sense of it all, Larry consults three different rabbis and their answers lead him on a twisted journey of faith, family, delinquent behaviour and mortality. ‘The entire script is a mishmash:  funny, droll, and anxiety producing, just like daily life in many Jewish families’ Ed Koch.
