O Brother Where Art Thou


Coen Brothers perfection from 2000 starring George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Charles Durning.
Three dim-witted chain gang prisoners escape and go on a quest for treasure and enlightenment in this comedy masterpiece based upon The Odyssey.
Imaginative and hysterical.
Clooney is remarkable as are his co-stars. Too many favorite scenes to mention but look for Holly Hunter's small role as Clooney's estranged wife ("You're not bona fide!") and Durning's take as a Southern politician.
Great soundtrack.
Funny, original, and worth seeing over and over. Not to be missed.
