O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2000)


O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Joel and Ethan Cohen, 2000)
Rating: 9.8

This is an amazing adaptation of the Odyssey during one of the most fascinating times in American History. The overooked details and parralles to Homer's Odyssey make in even more interesting. Blending actual historical figures and events like bluesman Tommy Johnson and George "Babyface" Nelson with folklore, mythology, southern music, culture, and politics, this film is a joy to watch.
