Coen Brothers do The Odyssey

[kenjari]

Other Kenjari and I finally watched O Brother Where Art Thou? last night. I was thoroughly charmed. It's a very amusing movie. I had a lot of fun picking out and identifying all the Odyssey references and parallels. Plus, there's the added fun of the giant Wizard of Oz reference.
The movie also has the most wonderful music: most of it is traditional southern and American music. Coincidentally enough, my boss Suzanne knows two of the singers on the soundtrack quite well.
I think I'm getting to quite like the Coen brothers' work.
