The Man Who Wasn't There was unique I felt. I feel it's one of their more overlooked films. The Big Lebowski wasn't unique really and people have issues with the ending. I think The Big Lebowski is overrated. Enjoyable but not THAT good... Don't lynch me.  |
When I say unique, I'm not trying to suggest they don't have their influences, just that they have a certain distinct flavor. I definitely agree with you about
Intolerable Cruelty and
The Ladykillers. I like the former and don't like the latter but neither has a uniquely-Coen vibe. I do, however, think
The Big Lebowski has that vibe I'm talking about, in spades. What issues do people have with ending? I've never heard that criticism of it before.
