Coen Bros' latest "A Serious Man" is playing at *one* theater in the 4th largest city in the country

One. :eyes:

Un-freakin'-believable. :grr:

Has anyone seen it? Like? Dislike? I'm seeing mixed reactions on the intertubes.

No spoilers please. :D

1. The Oscar movies always start with a limited release so they qualify for that year

the wide release will come in Decemember or 2010.

2. I believe that's one more theater than in the entire state of Floriduh.

:eyes:

I keep reading that the film is "too Jewish"...:shrug:

4. Too Jewish for *Florida*?

The mind boggles. :crazy:

3. It is a very personal film with less wide appeal

Some describe it as the film you get to make when you win the Oscar.

The Coen's have always been niche players who occasionally burst forth with something the public responds to.

My personal favorite of theirs is still Miller's Crossing and a lot of people haven't even heard of it.

I thought No Country for Old Men was like Fargo without the humor and I wanted the humor. A great but ultimately depressing film.
