O Brother, Where Art Thou? 4/5
One of the Coen’s most superficially enjoyable films. A tribute to the Delta. A wonderful adventure full of wit, humour, charm and heart. Visually, 1930s' Mississippi is captured gorgeously by Deakin's sepia-tones and the Coen's wide lenses vividly evoke the setting. Clooney is pitch-perfect as the preening Ulysses, as are Turturo and Nelson as his hapless, dim-witted accomplices. The folk music feels utterly authentic even in the most fantastic of settings—the “siren’s song”—and turns the film into a semi-musical in parts. I'm not sure if the film has any profundities in its themes of religion and nature but it is a wonderful yarn of seeing these charming characters go through their spiritual journey of redemption.
