DESCRIPTION:
Academy Award winning director
Joel and Ethan Coen return to their comedy roots with this original and
darkly humorous story 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 neighborhood 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 behavior
and mortality in the film critics rave is "seriously awesome!" (Michael
Hogan, Vanity Fair)

-
According to a calendar seen in the movie, this film is set
in 1967, however in the film the main character mentions the albums Abraxas
by Santana and Cosmos Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It
is unclear if one of these two things is an error, or the year is meant
to be left ambiguous.
-
In the film the character of Larry is told to go see a criminal
lawyer by the name of Ron Meshbesher, this is the actual name of a lawyer
in Minneapolis, and the mailing address shown on the package from him is
Meshbesher's actual office address.
