“I think everyone is now aware of this creative meteor, probably the most inspired piece of art I've ever witnessed. The Coens created two main characters you desperately root for who have kidnapped a baby!”

Director

“When I first saw it as a teenager I watched it immediately again afterwards. I just couldn't quite believe that a comedy could be that stylish and that dense in terms of its visuals and in terms of its dialogue so funny in so many different ways.”
