The Man Who Wasn't There

...främst minns i alla fall jag Billy Bob Thorntons minimalistiska gestaltning av Ed Crane: hur han lyckas med det halsbrytande konststycket att som filmens absoluta kraftcentrum inte vara där.

The Coens' trademark wry dialogue is present, with a literary love for the odd, everyday turn of phrase, and the terrific cast fit in perfectly with the style.

The Coens deftly handle the film's many twists and turns...

Beautifully performed, technically astounding, fiendishly intricate and steeped in knowing references...

...is one of the most lustrous black-and-white films made in years.
