The ultimate Gangster/doublecross/philosophical/comedy/Coen.. So much has been said of this film already. Yes, I am a Coen fan. Yes, this is the best Movie of all time. But to merely consider it a Gangster Pic - to then cast a thought (or even comparison - heaven forbid) back to the Godfathers or Goodfellas does not give this film its just desserts. Miller's is meticulous in detail - from design through to the lip-dripping dialogue. It is such an obvious labour of love for all involved - the casting of Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney, Jon Polito, John Turturro all perfect; like classical theatre, but even better. The music by Carter Burwell brings tears to my ears!?! Shakespeare could not have written a better study of conniving doublecross and tragedy!Go COEN go!
