""A Serious Man" is probably The Coen's most personal film, yet the movie is about consequences from nothing. Larry Gopnik (Michael Stahlburg) is a physics teacher in St Louis Park, Minnesota whose life deteriorates in every direction he faces. His wife Judith (Sari Lennick) is filing for divorce, his son Danny (Aaron Wolff) is buying marijuana in school, his student Clive (David Kang) bribes him into a passing grade, Sy (Fred Melamed) the man who wants to marry Judith dies in a car collision, hi"

"Re-watch - April 25th A Serious Man was actually one of my highest priorities for the month, but I opted to save it for last. It's so rich with themes and subtext and metaphor and meaning, and I just adore it from its odd, unrelated opening through its seemingly abrupt ending. It's also a lot of fun, especially watching Sy Abelman (unintentionally?) make Larry uncomfortable every chance he gets. Plus the soundtrack slays."
