Man Who Wasn't There [WS] DVD Summary
Set in a sleepy Northern California town in the 1940s,
Joel Coen
and
Ethan Coen
's
The Man Who Wasn't There
stars
Billy Bob Thornton
as
Ed Crane
, a humble barber who suspects his hard-hearted and hard-drinking wife
Doris
(
Frances McDormand
) of having an affair with her boss (
James Gandolfini
).
When a jocular stranger (
Jon Polito
) breezes into town hinting at the fortune to be made investing in an outlandish-sounding new invention called dry cleaning,
Ed
hatches a blackmail scheme he hopes will make him rich and get him some revenge at the same time.
His plan goes horribly awry when he accidentally commits a murder for which
Doris
ends up being blamed, landing her in the slammer and
Ed
at the mercy of blowhard big-city lawyer
Freddy Riedenschneider
(
Tony Shalhoub
).
Filmed in black-and-white by three-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer
Roger Deakins
,
The Man Who Wasn't There
was inspired by the seedy crime novels of
James M.
Cain
, putting a distinctly Coen brothers' spin on the film noir tradition.
Though spiked with their characteristic humor, its moody atmosphere hearkens back to the darker moments of
Blood Simple
and
Fargo
-- a marked departure from the high-spirited slapstick of
O Brother Where Art Thou
.
