Description
Joel and Ethan Coen's films are known for their complexity and depth. This book explores the relationship between religion and film in Coen's oeuvre, examining how his movies critique greed and self-interest, and present morality tales set in a mythological American landscape. Through a chapter-by-chapter analysis of individual films, as well as an original argument about what constitutes religion, this volume reveals how Coen's work emerges as a distinctive response to the question of religious significance. The result is a nuanced understanding of the kind of world-making that film and religion can achieve. By exploring the intersection of faith and cinema, this book offers new insights into both Coen's films and the nature of religion itself.
