Coen Brothers' fans rejoice!!

MoMA's ongoing film series -- Collaborations in the Collection -- spotlights Joel and Ethan Coen with screenings of their films beginning 08.16.08.

"Going beyond writing and directing, the Coen brothers also share producing and editing responsibilities—although they frequently go uncredited or use pseudonyms. Paul Newman said of the Coens, 'They give each other permission to go off on their own or express different ideas. But somehow in the end they're always in agreement.' Itinerants of place, time, and genre, the Coens defy neat categories or summaries. However, their films' credit lists reveal the common thread: collaborating with the same actors and crew allows the Coens to embark on each new collective challenge with efficiency."
