This could be the best Coen film ever, except “Fargo” will be hard to beat.
I really liked the stylishness of the Orson Welles version(s) (1948) both 107 minutes (lots of heavy Scottish accents) and 89 minutes (lots of unaccented dialogue, and long intro by Welles.) The amazing surreal/impressionistic sets. Both versions are worthy.
Definitely a hard artistic act to follow.
The Coen’s take on The Odyssey was pretty entertaining. A Coen version of Macbeth could be interesting.
