O, Brother Where Art Thou?

Dir. Joel Coen, Ethan Coen USA 107 min PG-13

2000 Disney & 20th Century

Loosely based on Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey, this film directed by the legendary Coen Brothers was also one of the first to extensively use digital color correction to give the film a signature autumnal sepia-tinted look.

Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) busts loose. Except he's still shackled to his own chain-mates from the chain gang: bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro), and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson). 

Reviews
"Its narrative world exists very far from anywhere with the internet and memes, yet this absurdly entertaining and witty film is so damn memeable, loaded with snackable dialogue fans will instantly recognise." —The Guardian
