Burn After Reading
Intelligence is relative.
Directed by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Produced by Focus Features, StudioCanal
A darkly comic, paranoia-soaked farce where ordinary people's petty schemes spiral into absurdity and violence, driven by self-interest and miscommunication.
When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.
