ComiConverse | Review: Hail Caesar
The Coen brothers’ latest comedy Hail, Caesar! is out now and ComiConverse’s Elodie Cure has the following review.
“We’re only interested in one thing, Bart. Can you tell a story? Can you make us laugh? Can you make us cry? Can you make us want to break out in joyous song? Is that more than one thing?”
Lipnick asked playwright Barton Fink in the eponymous film Barton Fink, released in 1991 and produced by the Coen brothers (Joel and Ethan). This simple quote defines the objective of each and every producer, which is to arouse emotions amongst the audience. After the deeply moving Inside Llewyn Davis, the Coen Brothers are back this year with the comedy Hail, Caesar! and they seem determined to follow their own advice to earn the audience’s feeling again.
