The Big Lebowski
One of the most iconic films from the Coen brothers ('No Country for Old Men', 'Fargo') and it's no surprise. After all, 'The Big Lebowski' is one of those movies that almost became a religion. The character The Dude, brilliantly portrayed by Jeff Bridges, is real, so fun and so identifiable that he became a true icon of pop culture. Best of all, this absurd story of a man trying to get his rug back doesn't just revolve around its protagonist. Firstly, the script is delightfully bizarre -- from this quest for the rug, The Dude gets involved with gangsters, mob millionaires and a suitcase full of briefs. It's hard not to have fun with the chaos. Moreover, the other characters are almost equally fascinating. Jesus (John Turturro) appears for only a few minutes, but still adorns t-shirts today. Donny (Steve Buscemi) has a very particular strangeness. And Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) is a stressed out war veteran responsible for some of the most iconic scenes in the movie -- the ashes sequence on the cliff is hilarious. In short: 'The Big Lebowski' is an absolute classic of comedy that will make anyone laugh out loud.
Barton Fink
Just the fourth feature film from filmmakers Ethan and Joel Coen (known as the Coen Brothers), 'Barton Fink' put them at the top of the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, where it was recognized not only with the Palme d'Or, but also with the awards for best director and best actor (John Turturro). It's a jarring mix of disturbing psychological suspense and black comedy style that would eventually become the Coen Brothers' trademark, but it's also one of their most complex films. With influences ranging from Luis Buñuel to David Lynch and Roman Polanski ('The Tenant'), 'Barton Fink' unfolds like a feverish nightmare that comments on the creative process (and its frequent frustrations), the supposed distinction between high culture and popular culture, the gap between intellectuals and "common men" and the rise of fascism before World War II. A filmic cocktail that allows for multiple readings on each new occasion, masterfully performed by Turturro and John Goodman ('The Big Lebowski').
Raising Arizona
The Coen Brothers have a very particular narrative style, which reached its peak in 'The Big Lebowski': absurd situations that accumulate until reaching an unsustainable point. In the comedy 'Raising Arizona', this narrative basis is given from one of the most curious premises of the two brothers' cinema: a convenience store thief (Nicolas Cage) proposes to a police photographer (Holly Hunter). Everything goes great until they discover that she can't have children and, on top of that, they are rejected by the city's adoption agencies. From there, 'Raising Arizona' shows the challenges of parenthood from a curious perspective: that of this couple who finally decides to kidnap a baby. With a very funny performance by Cage, who manages to pass realism to the absurdity of the situation, the feature film stands as a movie about families and the complexities of forming a traditional family nucleus.
