Burn After Reading was brilliant in its farcical approach to personal affairs bordering on the fringes of international intelligence. A Serious Man was an atrocity with no redeeming value whatsoever, except perhaps as a period piece as tunenut pointed out. But how could a return to humdrum middle America ca 1967 be exciting? Snoozers!
