The Coen Brothers Collection dvd

A collection of four films directed by eccentric movie-making duo Ethan and Joel Coen. *'Blood Simple' *(1983),* a knowing homage to 40s film noir,* is the Coen brothers' debut feature. A Texan bar owner *(Dan Hedaya) hires a hitman *(M. Emmet Walsh) to kill his wife *(Frances McDormand) and her lover *(John Getz). The plan backfires when the contract killer,* having already collected his fee,* executes a variation on the hit *- and a series of nightmarish murders ensue. The comedy *'The Hudsucker Proxy' *(1994) follows the unlikely adventures of Norville Barnes *(Tim Robbins),* a college graduate who secures a job in the postroom at Hudsucker Industries just as its chairman is jumping fifty floors to his death. The chairman's scheming aide,* Mussburger *(Paul Newman),* decides to hire Norville as chairman,* presuming he is a dunce whose new position will frighten the stockholders into selling all their stock cheaply,* thus allowing him to consolidate his hold on the company. A cynical journalist,* Amy Archer *(Jennifer Jason Leigh),* masquerades as Norville's secretary in the hope of scooping a feature,* but ends up falling for Norville,* who in the meantime invents the hula-hoop,* makes a fortune and revives the company's stock. *'The Big Lebowski' *(1997),* the Coen brothers' seventh film,* is a typically bizarre mix of mistaken identity,* hippy philosophy and ten-pin bowling. Jeff *'the Dude' Lebowski *(Jeff Bridges) is a bowling buff,* laid-back to the point of horizontal,* who gets mixed up in a blackmail plot involving a millionaire namesake. Roped into delivering the ransom to secure the release of the millionaire's kidnapped wife,* the Dude's karmic balance is really put in a spin when his gun-toting buddy Walter *(John Goodman) decides to help out. John Turturro stars in *'Barton Fink' *(1991) as the eponymous anti-hero,* a successful young playwright who goes to Hollywood to further his career
