BEST MOVIES OF 2009: #9 - A SERIOUS MAN


I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan, so I see everything they make, but I wasn't too sure what to expect from the no name cast of A Serious Man. The opening scene is confusing and esoteric as is the conclusion. I don't want to give too much away, but I don't think I could if I tried. A Serious Man is a very layered film filled to the brim with Jewish traditions. It's hilarious, odd, but most importantly human. The main character struggles with insecurities in his romantic, family, and professional life. Supposedly he is cursed, but it just comes off as a person who has to deal with life.
