ABOUT THE FILMS THE BIG LEBOWSKI, 1998, Universal, 117 min. Dir: Joel Coen Jeffrey :The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges), a Los Angeles slacker who only wants to bowl and drink White Russians, is mistaken for another Jeffrey Lebowski, a wheelchair-bound millionaire, and finds himself dragged into a strange series of events involving nihilists, adult film producers, ferrets, errant toes and large sums of money. Format: 35mm A SERIOUS MAN, 2009, Universal, 106 min. Dirs: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen Jewish physics professor Larry Gropnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) can’t catch a break: his wife (Sari Lennick) wants a divorce, his malady-laden brother (Richard Kind) is living on his couch, and his tenure is endangered by a small misunderstanding that snowballs into a fiasco. Only the Coen brothers could make such a modern-day Job’s plight so painfully hilarious; their return to the world of Minnesota academia in which they grew up yields one of their richest, most personal films to date. Format: 35mm BURN AFTER READING, 2008, Universal, 96 min. Dirs: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen A disc of computer files from former CIA analyst John Malkovich is accidentally left at a gym, and the employees who find it (Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt) try everything they can think of to profit from it. The Coen brothers’ flair for outlandish characters reaches a screwball peak in this star-studded take on the spy film. Format: 35mm
