After seeing Burn After Reading, it is only natural to want more from the Coens. Let's start with one of their most notable films yet: here comes, The Dude.
A film by Joel and Ethan Coen
Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a slacker and avid bowler, gets himself in a crime warfare after he is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski.

As expected of the Coens, the film has an absolutely great narrative. With strong foundation, the complex layers of the story are still comprehensive, and very entertaining. What I truly admire about the Coen brothers is how they brilliantly play several subplots while still giving each one rational and justifiable conclusions. Likewise, the actors are equally engaging. Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, and (my ever beloved) Steve Buscemi have given remarkable performances. These people are the epitome of humor and slack with "class". And of course, Julianne Moore is nothing but perfection. Two words to sum up this amazing film: total badass.
Truly starting to love the Coens.
