O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Cinema has always been fond of escape stories. Whether epic or intimate stories, war or prison film, tragedy or comedy, these tales reflect the injustices, violence and conflicts that tear people apart, as well as their propensity for solidarity and compassion. The inventiveness the characters devote to escaping is reminiscent of that of filmmakers who stage their imprisonment in order to better break it down: an always meticulous game, set against a backdrop of spatial constraints and a race against time.
During the Great Depression, three prisoners chained up together manage to escape with the goal of recovering the loot from a bank robbery. In the course of their incredible journey, they have to be careful not to be intercepted by the enigmatic and clever Sheriff Cooley, who is after them.

Coen brothers
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, collectively known as the Coen brothers, are an American filmmaking duo. Their films span many genres and styles, which they frequently subvert or parody. Their most acclaimed works include Blood Simple (1984), Raising Arizona (1987), Miller's Crossing (1990), Barton Fink (1991), Fargo (1996), The Big Lebowski (1998), No Country for Old Men (2007), A Serious Man (2009) and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013). Those last three films have been ranked in the BBC's 2016 poll of the greatest motion pictures since 2000. In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked Fargo among the 100 greatest American movies ever made. Many of their films are distinctly American, often examining the culture of the American South and American West in both modern and historical contexts.
