Abridged Book Description[]
The Coen brothers' enormously inventive second feature abandoned the noir mood of Blood Simple (1984) for this larger-than-life (but likewise intricately plotted) comedy featuring cartoon-style caricature... The film is as fervently and intelligently in love with tacky excess as anything dreamed up by Preston Sturges.
