Trailer for 'A Serious Man'

Two of my favorite filmmakers, Joel and Ethan Coen, are at it again. The Coen Brothers are the Oscar-winning writers/directors behind some of the best films in the last 20 years including Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou? and No Country for Old Men (just to name a few). Now they are back with their follow-up to last year's Burn After Reading, another dark comedy entitled A Serious Man.

The film takes place in 1967 and centers on Larry Gopnik, a Midwestern professor who watches his life unravel when his wife prepares to leave him because his inept brother won't move out of the house. The film stars the relatively unknown Michael Stuhlbarg as Larry Gopnik and the hilarious Richard Kind as his brother. A Serious Man is set for a limited release on October 2nd.
