“Critic’s Pick! A SERIOUS MAN is a distilled, hyperbolic account of the human condition.”
— The New York Times
For many people, this Coen Brothers film seemed like a strange anomaly in their filmography when it was released. No major stars. A baseline of Jewish mysticism. As time marches on, however, it becomes apparent that this odd film is a skeleton key to the Coens’ other work. Fred Melamed’s Sy Ableman is one of the great characters in the Coen’s gallery of memorable figures. In 35mm.
