positive · AI labelView post →I tried to figure out what a Jewish horror movie would even look like and I realized it already exists and it’s A Serious Man
neutral · AI labelView post →Now rewatching, the Coen bros, A Serious Man (2009). I consider this a masterpiece. An anxiety inducing marvel of a film. My fifth favorite movie of theirs. 5/5
positive · AI labelView post →Personal top Coen Bros film ranking, been on my mind the last few days. 1. No Country for Old Men 2. Barton Fink 3. A Serious Man 4. The Big Lebowski 5. True Grit 6. Miller's Crossing 7. O Brother, Where Art Thou? 8. Fargo 9. The Man Who Wasn't There 10. Inside Llewyn Davis
neutral · AI labelView post →Is A SERIOUS MAN the best Cohen Brothers movie? The older I get, the more I think, yes it is.
positive · AI labelView post →watching A Serious Man for the first time, a movie I know so little about I didn’t know Richard Kind was prominently in it
neutral · AI labelView post →You might disagree about FARGO being the best Coen Bros movie. You might say it's A SERIOUS MAN or NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. And you know what? You're 100% right. I'm more right, but you're still completely right.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Frame Study for Theo and friend, ref frame is from A Serious Man (2009)
neutral · AI labelView post →Showing the Coen brothers’ A SERIOUS MAN tonight to my little local film club. Hadn’t thought through that it was the first night of Rosh Hashana when I programmed it. 📽️ #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I Am Once Again Thinking About Rewatching A Serious Man (2009)
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, early on, I kept comparing it in my mind to A Serious Man, but it's a very universal story. I was surprised by the quality of Cher's performance, but Olympia Dukakis steals every movie she’s in, and this is no exception.
neutral · AI labelView post →If I was a cinema studies PhD candidate I would write my dissertation on what I call “Jewish ultra-realism” as depicted in 21st century film, particularly in both “A Serious Man” and “Uncut Gems”. Both encapsulate just endless neurotic dread in a way that can’t otherwise be articulated.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Coen Brothers movie, A Serious Man, begins and ends with the meaning of life in America: 🎶 When the truth is found to be lies, And the joy within you dies...🎶 Somebody to Love, written by Darby Slick, originally performed by the Great Society, then Jefferson Airplane.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching “A Serious Man,” which to me is self-evidently the Coens’ best movie and top 5 in this century. Perfect.
positive · AI labelView post →What’s your favorite movie from every decade in your life? 90s: Toy Story 00s: A Serious Man 10s: Little Women 20s: Dune Part Two
neutral · AI labelView post →A Serious Man is the Coen's film that most tackles the Jewish faith as well as universal concepts of the place of the self in the world, and the experience of being cucked. Ask us about: living in the suburbs, Richard Kind, and physics.
neutral · AI labelView post →Much like your comment about A Serious Man I dont know how straight people can perceive this movie, they just see the 90s Sandra Bullock vehicle Hope Floats
neutral · AI labelView post →“What is going on?“ – Larry Gopnik from the movie “A Serious Man”
neutral · AI labelView post →*desperately waking up my wife at 3:03 AM* I think the way A Serious Man portrays suburban isolation is really key to the whole movie. I think it’s an element that isn’t discussed enough.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched A SERIOUS MAN for the first time. A spiritual older sibling to BEAU IS AFRAID, so I loved it. Stuhlbarg is perfect as usual. Easily one of my favorite endings in any Coen movie. So glad to finally check it off the list. 🎥📽️🎞️🎬
positive · AI labelView post →Their best film, give or take A Serious Man, for me. It just seems so obviously all about grief on rewatch, and every scene is about his singing partner's death. And despite that, it remains hilarious in every scene. I thought Oscar Isaac was going to be the actor of his generation...sadly, not.
neutral · AI labelView post →For the first time in Bleak Week history, I’m introducing a second film in one week and in a different city! I have a virtual intro playing before the Coen Brothers’ A SERIOUS MAN. There’s also an intro by Richard Kind! Starts at 4:30 and 7:15 tonight at the @pickfordfilmcenter.bsky.social!

neutral · AI labelView post →I need a tote bag that says “I’m not depressed I’m just thinking about the Coen brothers film ‘A Serious Man’”
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe I’m biased because it’s my favourite film of theirs but it’s strange to me that A Serious Man isn’t considered as all that notable within the Coen Brothers’ filmography. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Great piece of film, Amy Landecker must have studied her for A Serious Man. Thanks!
neutral · AI labelView post →Which you get from A Serious Man in particular; to the extent that its hero violates norms, he’s trying not to the entire time. Like an entire film from the POV of the gas station clerk Chigurh kills
neutral · AI labelView post →Can a film be so depressing that it almost cheers you up? For me, it’s the Coen brothers’s “A Serious Man”
neutral · AI labelView post →I put some thought into what a Jewish horror movie would look like, and I realized that the Coen Brothers already perfected it with A Serious Man
neutral · AI labelView post →Made my boy watch A Serious Man, the greatest movie ever made. Might have laughed too much, but I think he basically got it. He’s smarter than me, so…
positive · AI labelView post →I know a lot of Jewish people thought the Coen brothers film “A Serious Man” (2009) was horrifying but honestly, I think it’s their masterpiece
positive · AI labelView post →Fargo, gun to my head, is probably my pick for best Coen brothers movie. I love Lebowski, No Country, and A Serious Man but Fargo is just everything they do well all wrapped up in one film
positive · AI labelView post →We are not. It is a great great movie but not clearly their best. Candidates for best also include: Fargo, O Brother, A Serious Man, No Country for Old Men.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the more antagonistic characters is CIA agent Halpern, who assumes the worst of the aliens. Villeneuve had liked Michael Stuhlbarg in the Coen brothers’ A Serious Man and, again, he signed up for the film when offered the part. 12/52
neutral · AI labelView post →📽️ #filmsky A Serious Man (2009) US A Coen brothers film says it all. Minnesota 1967 and a Jewish physics teacher is a very put-upon man. Multiple sudden incidents cause his life to unravel. Darkly funny.
neutral · AI labelView post →Who is your favorite character from A Serious Man who dies in a car crash during the movie and loves to golf and steal wives?
neutral · AI labelView post →Breaking News: CHAINSAW MAN author Tatsuki Fujimoto has converted to Judaism after watching The Coen Brothers movie A SERIOUS MAN.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I watched Being John Malkovich for the third time and have elevated it back to My Favourite Film status, passing A Serious Man and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
positive · AI labelView post →Having read this, I now understand the movie "A Serious Man" better.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shoutout to anyone who can’t hear a reference to Santana’s Abraxas without thinking of the Coen brothers’ film A Serious Man #AT40
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the more antagonistic characters is CIA agent Halpern, who assumes the worst of the aliens. Villeneuve had liked Michael Stuhlbarg in the Coen brothers’ A Serious Man and, again, he signed up for the film when offered the part. 12/52
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite film or films (if I can't decide) from each year of my life. #BirthYearTillNow #FilmChallenge #MovieSky A Serious Man (2009) dir. Joel & Ethan Coen
positive · AI labelView post →I started rewatching A Serious Man. I’ve gone from wondering if it’s the Coens best film to knowing it is, and wondering how high it ranks all time. A masterpiece
positive · AI labelView post →i tried to kind of split the difference here and include films that i both consider "formative" and "all-time favorites." a film i consider formative but not a personal favorite is A Serious Man. a film i consider a personal favorite but not, like, "important" would be Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway
neutral · AI labelView post →Miller's Crossing and A Serious Man rounding out my top or two or three Coen film selection.
positive · AI labelView post →Fargo is a "better" film, but I love Lebowski more. 1 Raising Arizona 2 Big Lebowski 3 No Country for Old Men 4 Fargo 5 A Serious Man
positive · AI labelView post →Such a great film. I've been bingeing a number of Coen brothers films lately (catching up on the ones I missed over the years) and A Serious Man is one of their best. I told my very thoughtful 18yo nephew about it and he loved it as well, and even got his parents to watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →15) Three best Coen brothers (excluding No Country For Old Men since obvs) movies: Inside Llewyn Davis, A Serious Man, and Barton Fink. (My favorite movie theme is "men with Issues", obvs)
positive · AI labelView post →I will use any excuse to share that my commute to high school was disrupted by the filming of A Serious Man which makes that movie 10x better because I am the biggest gentile that ever grew up in St. Louis Park
positive · AI labelView post →I kind of wanted to cheat and cite 'A Serious Man' as a movie that takes place where I'm from, but there are only a couple scenes in St. Paul, and since I am (Altman enthusiasm notwithstanding) very much not a Prairie Home Companion fan, I guess I'll have to settle for this
neutral · AI labelView post →Choose one film from each of your 30 favourite directors. Name of the film and director, along with a still. #Filmsky 🎥 #MovieSky 🎬📽 5/30 A Serious Man, 2009, by Joel and Ethan Coen
neutral · AI labelView post →I need to look this film up because I’ve never heard of it and I loved Amy Landecker in A SERIOUS MAN.
positive · AI labelView post →Those are my top three too. Just rewatched A Serious Man last week, and that film is *tight* .
positive · AI labelView post →This is a reference to the hit movie A Serious Man available wherever movies are sold maybe
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked yours! I picked a different Coen brothers movie, but it could've just as easily been Inside Llewyn Davis or A Serious Man
neutral · AI labelView post →A Serious Man being a better film than TBL is a hill on which I have already staked out a patch of land.
positive · AI labelView post →What’s your favorite movie from every decade in your life? 1990s - Bound 2000s - A Serious Man 2010s - The Lure 2020s - I Saw The TV Glow

positive · AI labelView post →Hard to call A Serious Man an "underrated gem" when it's a Coen Bros film but people are still sleeping on it.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite movie is the Cohen brother’s A Serious Man. I watch it several times a year. Sometimes however, I just pull up this scene and watch it. “The teeth? We don’t know. A sign from Hashem? We don’t know. Helping others? Couldn’t hurt.” youtu.be/Rru5jRWqj0c?...
