‘Burn After Reading’ was awesome. Its’ satire was virtually anthropological. I can’t think of another recent film that indicted the completely self absorbed, mass media driven lives that so many American lead.
Burn After Reading is so bizarrely quotable, the kind of movie only the Coens could make. I’ve always thought the fact that the Blood Simple director’s cut is actually shorter than the original is the ultimate proof that the Coens just aren’t like other directors.
Is that what it was? I thought it was a long commentary on the absurdity of modern life.
