A Serious Man is probably the best Coen brothers' movie. It is a hilarious parable disguised as anti-Jewish satire. The being Jewish, for authors, is not so much the subject as an occasion for much more interesting and witty conversation. The object of their ridicule is certainly neither the American Tzadik not the Jewish community as a whole, and certainly not God-seeking, but in itself painful mistrust inherent Semites. In general, it seems that anyone with the words "Bar Mitzvah" and "Dibbuk" aches nostalgic parts of the brain, "A Serious Man" will become perhaps the most hilarious film of the year, and this is the important detail in the case with Cohen's. In essence, "A Serious Man," this is "The Simpsons Movie" translated into the universal language of cinema as an everyday way of perceiving the infinite series of pleasant wonders.
