If you’re like me, then you probably hadn’t heard too much about A Serious Man prior to its release. Sure, there were passing mentions and occasional whispers, but it didn’t sound like this movie was going to be anything earth-shattering. Having now seen the film, I can’t for the life of me understand why everyone isn’t talking about it. The Coen brothers have become well known for their unique brand of storytelling. Whether it’s a comedy film or a drama piece, one thing always manages to catch the attention of viewers and critics alike: the characters.
