Coen| US film-makers. With Joel credited as director, Ethan as producer, and both as screenwriters (although, in effect, they share all these tasks), the Coen brothers have created a succession of stylish, offbeat movies, specializing in film noirs such as Blood Simple (1984) and The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), and black comedies such as Raising Arizona (1987) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). They won the Palme D'Or for their satire Barton Fink (1991) at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for best original screenplay for their dark crime comedy Fargo (1996). |
| Other films include Miller's Crossing (1990), The Hudsucker Proxy (1994), The Big Lebowski (1998), Intolerable Cruelty (2003), and No Country for Old Men (2007). Joel Coen also won the best director prize at the Cannes Film Festival for The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), sharing his award with US director David Lynch. |
| Joel Coen's wife, Frances McDormand, frequently stars in his films and won the Academy Award for best actress for Fargo. |
