Personal Quote:

It's easy to offend people. People get uncomfortable, for instance, when the main character in a movie is not sympathetic in a Hollywood formula way. Our movies are loaded with things that aren't to everyone's taste. On the other hand, there's a scene in [O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)] where a frog gets squished that everyone seems to like. It's all right to do the frog squishing. See more »

Trivia:

He and brother Joel Coen have had final cut on all of their films since Blood Simple (1984), their debut film. See more »

Trademark:

A tense situation in a moving car. E.g. Fargo (1996), The Big Lebowski (1998), Burn After Reading (2008) and Blood Simple (1984). See more »
