What can I say? A Serious Man is really funny, despite sounding so serious, but it's a real laugh.

I really wasn't sure about this when I saw it at the cinema, but on a second viewing I am really convinced that the Coens have never made a better film. It's not as easily coherent as Fargo, and not as thrilling as Millers Crossing, but it has an indescribable air of greatness about it. It feels like a classic poem rather than a film... Oh and it looks terrific in Blu-Ray, which I wasn't expecting either. A masterpiece if you ask me.
