Watch it Again and Again

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2018)

The Coens are God in this film.
Look at the start of the end credits.
Movies are their religion or nearest thing to it and here they get to play the big deity.
It's a playful tease on institutional dogma.
They gently point out the foibles of major religions and business cultures of 1951.
They reference their own films constantly and use their famous mirroring of symbolic images and scenes to connect dots ...
or at least create the dots for us to connect.
Look at Eddie's crown while watching playbacks and flash forward to the lining up of the submarine rendezvous.
The casting and acting is as close to perfect as you can get.
This is up there with Barton, Llewyn, Geoff, Anton and Larry.
