Since 1984, The Coens have been delivering fan-favourite film after fan-favourite film, permeating the movie landscape with characters and dialogue that, even if you haven’t seen the films, you can’t help but recognise and even quote from them.
So, this week for our Movie Talk On Sunday, let us take at the works of the Coens, and share what we like (or dislike) about their film output. Starting at 8pm BST over on twitter, we will work through the following ten questions over a 90 minutes or so period of time. To join in, search for #MTOS or follow @filmfileuk and answer along as the questions fire out (remember to add the #mtos to the answers so we can all track them).
See you then.
