The Man Who Wasn't There (Blu-Ray, #1301)
The Coen brothers peer into the existential abyss of the atomic age in this coolly riveting, drolly profound noir thriller.

Fusing the expressionistic black and white and hard-boiled poetry of classic noir with their own idiosyncratic feeling for sinister, surreal Americana, Joel and Ethan Coen craft an arresting vision of the cruelty of fate and the mystery of our place in the cosmos.
