An underrated Coen Brothers film, for me its definitely one of their funniest, assessable and stylish works. The performances are brilliant as our the over the top sets. It's one of their only 'family friendly' films, for adults and, you know, for kids! ;o)
Considered a lesser Coen effort, I personally love this surreal fantastical fable on capitalism. The sets are beautifully designed and it feels like a kinder 'Brazil'.
