There are two main genres in the works of the Coen brothers ( The big Lebowski, True Grit ) Comedy and Drama. Usually the genres follow one after another. And in both these genres they excel. O brother, where art thou? is mainly a comedy with the drama build in. It is loosly based on Homer’s epic poem “The Odessey” but then moved to the deep south in the 1930’s. George Clooney ( Oceans eleven ), Tim Blake Nelson ( Chaos ) and a favourite of the Coen brothers, John Turturro ( Transformers ) spring free from a chain gang and are trying to reach home to recover the buried loot of a bank heist. On the way they meet like Ulysses the strangest characters like sirens and a Cyclops. Accompanied by a great soundtrack, this is a movie to watch more than once.
