A Serious Man written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Starring Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, Fred Melamed and Sari Lennick.
This black comedy centers on physics professor Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg) and his quest to find meaning and answers in his life. Gopnik's world suddenly unravels without notice: his wife is having an affair with his best friend, someone is sending very unflattering letters about him to his boss, his brother is an unwelcome guest in his home, his children are ungrateful and unappreciative of him, and one of his students offers him a substantial bribe for a passing grade. Gopnik turns to his faith in hopes of finding guidance and wisdom, but the three rabbis who council him only dole out platitudes. Dark, humorous and interesting as are most of the Coen brothers films. Rated R.
