从《抚养亚历桑纳》（1987年）和《谋杀绿脚趾》（1998年）等风靡一时的影片到《冰血暴》（1996年）、《老无所依》（2007年）和《醉乡民谣》（2013年）等大受评论界追捧的影片，哥哥乔尔•科恩和弟弟伊桑•科恩在现代美国电影界形成了一种阴郁滑稽、识别度非常高的风格。在《科恩兄弟:这本书真的把电影联系在了一起》中，电影评论家Adam Nayman仔细地查看整理了他们复杂的电影世界，试图构思出，用他自己的话说，“某种重要的、统一的科恩理论。”本书将评论的文本——传记、细致的电影分析，以及对科恩兄弟关键合作者们的启发性访问——和向科恩兄弟独特的黑暗与轻率混合体致敬的视觉审美结合了起来。本书以电影剧照、美丽和令人回味的插图、富有感染力的信息图表和坚定的洞察为特色，将成为对科恩兄弟全部作品探索最完整可靠的专著。

From such cult hits as Raising Arizona (1987) and The Big Lebowski (1998) to major critical darlings Fargo (1996), No Country for Old Men (2007), and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Ethan and Joel Coen have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice in modern American cinema. In The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together, film critic Adam Nayman carefully sifts through their complex cinematic universe in an effort to plot, as he puts it, “some Grand Unified Theory of Coen-ness.” The book combines critical text—biography, close film analysis, and enlightening interviews with key Coen collaborators—with a visual aesthetic that honors the Coens’ singular mix of darkness and levity. Featuring film stills, beautiful and evocative illustrations, punchy infographics, and hard insight, this book will be the definitive exploration of the Coen brothers’ oeuvre.
