A Serious Man is the latest, brilliantly inventive black comedy from the Coen brothers set in Minnesota in 1967. Larry Gopnik is a professor at a quiet Midwestern university whose life unravels spectacularly when his wife leaves him for his pompous colleague. His unemployable brother is sleeping on the couch, his son is a discipline problem and his daughter is filching money for a nose job. Struggling for equilibrium, Larry seeks advice from three Rabbis. Can anyone help him cope with his afflictions and become a serious man?
