O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000) 5/5.
An absolutely brilliant adventure film that was written, produced and directed by Joel Coen and his brother, Ethan Coen. The film is set in 1937, in rural Mississippi, during the Great Depression and is loosely based upon THE ODYSSEY by Homer.
It stars George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, Chris Thomas King, Charles Durning, Michael Badalucco, John Goodman, Holly Hunter and Stephen Root.
Much of the excellent musical soundtrack by T Bone Burnett consists of period-specific folk music. The Coen Brothers seldom fail to deliver and this is certainly one of their better efforts. The story, the humour and the music all combine together perfectly, to produce a highly enjoyable and sometimes mesmerizing experience.

It’s my favorite Coen Brothers movie alongside Fargo. It took me a long time to enjoy FARGO.
At first, I just couldn't get into it. However, I watched the first season of the TV series and loved it. So afterwards, I went back to the film and found that I finally liked it.
O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? still remains one of my favourite Coen Brother films, but NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN would have to take first prize.

In fact, it wasn't until after I watched the first season of the TV show that I was finally able to go back to it, watch it and enjoy it.
