I love their films. In Blu-ray they are even better. This is a wonderful companion collection to an earlier Blu-ray boxed setThe content is 5 plus stars.
The packaging is a little inconvenient, but given the content and pricing that is a small price to pay.The Coen Brothers are remarkably intelligent film makers.
Each film is a jewel of movie making.
If you are at all curious as to what happens to someone who follows the rules of God and man
as best he can then watch a "Serious Man".
If you think going your own way and doing your own thing will lead to happiness
then watch the "Big Lebowski".
If you think you know what is best for the Common Man even if you are not a very
good listener to those around you who could tell you a story or two...and your sharing your wisdom
will lead to happiness then watch "Barton Fink".
If you think being up-to-date on everything that comes you way is the way to happiness
then watch "Burn After Reading".
Finally, if you believe in Pre-Nups and Wedded Bliss, not to mention incredibly white teeth, will
lead to happiness then watch "Intolerable Cruelty".
Each film has its own lessons for life as such each film is worth watching over and over again.Good to get five bluray movies for the price.
Some of the movies are classics and some are not very good, but nice to have collection.This set had potential until I decided to watch it. Then the real fun began, first I tried
One and it wouldn't load, tried another I think it was burn after reading the menu's were listed
in chinese then some other asian characters and so on then listing all european langs.
2 pages long. english last and this was only to choose the lang. to play the soundtrack in.
there was no way to know this except to drill down through all this as the primary lang.
was not english. I guess I should have had a clue from the disc labels as although in english
the rating was not the m.p.p.a. that I was used to but ratings warning under 17 etc. from Ireland
and others. only one other disc played same thing obviously made for european Marketplace
all told only 2 of 5 discs would play. BAD SET!!!
Returned this set to Amazon based on unplayability alone and received credit though the return window had passed. DON'T BUY this unless you want what appears to be a collection of discs from several sources
and boxed as a set....
