I've written about the Coen brothers already on this blog, but that was in a review of their least Coen brotheriest film True Grit. This films is probably on the other end of the spectrum. Unlike True Grit, The Big Lebowski is not a strong genre film, in fact I would argue it doesn't even have much of a plot. This is the Coen brothers in their most undiluted state. The film is full of surreal situations, eccentric characters, and just the right blend of comedy and violence.
