Coen Brothers premiere new comedy in London - A Serious Man

The Coen Brothers have unveiled their new dark comedy at the London Film Festival. The Academy Award winning directors are going back to their roots with A Serious Man - the story of a faithful husband and father whose only crime appears to be complacency with his 1960s stable life. The film is set in the Jewish suburban neighbourhoods of Minneapolis where Joel and Ethan Coen lived during their teenage years. The story bears more than a passing resemblance to the Old Testament Book of Job, but the Coens insist they didn't set out to tell a biblical story. A Serious Man is released in the UK on November 20.
