[quote] [I]A Serious Man[/I] [B]is an exquisitely realized work[/B]; the filmmakers’ technical mastery of their craft, always impressive, has become absolute.[B] The script[/B] reads like a novel, densely allusive, funny, and terse. The casting of near-unknowns in all the major roles (Michael Stuhlbarg is a renowned Broadway actor but unfamiliar to movie audiences) was a stroke of genius, and [B]every performance is impeccable[/B], as is the lambent cinematography by Roger Deakins (the Coens’ longtime collaborator). The costume design and set design (by Mary Zophres and Jess Gonchor) brilliantly evoke the staid and clannish world of semi-assimilated Midwestern Jews (a group for whom the new mores of the ’60s arrived much later than for the urban gentiles of [I]Mad Men[/I]).

Cant wait for this. I have been hearing that this is such a dark comedy it will make Fargo look like Sesame Street.
