A Serious Man
Accept mystery.
Directed by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Produced by Focus Features, StudioCanal
A darkly comic meditation on moral chaos and spiritual uncertainty, following a physics professor's unraveling life as he seeks meaning and guidance in a world that offers neither.
It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik, a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith that she is leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous acquaintances Sy Ableman.
