This 2001 Coen Brothers film has become a favorite. Ostensibly a neo-noir, it eschews the high contrast black and white of forties noir to achieve a beautiful "color" using all the shades of the gray scale. Billy Bob Thornton is the private eye-type narrator, except that in this film he's a barber. Unhappily married to Francis McDormand, who is cheating on him with her boss (James Gandolfini), he tries to blackmail the boss, with tragic results. Scarlette Johansen (sp?) also stars. In typical Coen Brothers wacky fashion, about an hour into the film a minor character calls on Thornton and starts talking about aliens.
