COEN Brothers - Filmography.

COEN Bro's

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen are professioanly known as the Coen Brothers, they work in partnership as American Film Makers. They both are aclaimed writers, directors and producers, however recently Joel got awarded for directing and Ethan for producing. After graduating Joel worked as an production assistant on some films and a couple of music videos. This would stand him in good stead and he developed a talent for editing. Following this, he became an assistant editer on the film 'The Evil Dead' (1980). The brothers then worked together writing and directing their first film- 'Blood Simple'. Blood Simple was a horror, which has a simple plot line however with underlying twists, it also housed dark humour and mise en scene. This film was a success, and promted the brothers to win an award at Sundance. The next film endeavour was 'Crimewave' another success. The Coen brothers are still creating film masterpieces to this day. It could be argues that now the brothers are more established they aim to a much more left field audience. Its clear they like to move away from the main stream and try and tackle new challenges in the highly competative film world. They seem to juggle around genre and escape from the modern stereotypes film tend to have these days.  Often they will try and put to opposing genres together, such as triller and comedy. With their tallent and understanding of what the public wants, this usually proves to be a big hit.
