I love everything about the construction of this Japanese poster that culminates into a fantastically realized montage. Perfect. Alain Delon and movie poster fans rejoice.

I love this picture of George Clooney and Frances McDormand in a movie theater in Burn After Reading. The most important question for those that prefer their Coen Brothers cinema to be more No Country serious is when will they return to a film like that? At the moment there really isn’t such a film in their pipeline until Hail Caesar (2009 or more likely 2010 after they make dark comedy A Serious Man), which is a 1920’s period piece centered around a William Shakespeare stage play, Julius Caesar (wiki). stage play. As for me, the film of theirs that I most look forward to is their take on one of my all-time favorite films, Gambit. I discovered Gambit at one of the Tarantino film festivals and mark the poster I have for it as one of the most cleverly conceived - you can spoil the ending, just don’t spoil the beginning.

Burn After Reading recently screened at the 65th Venice Film Festival and upcoming will be at the Toronto International Film Festival. The US release follows shortly thereafter.

I have to wonder if everyone is taking the new Coen Brothers Burn After Reading too seriously!?! Over at GreenCine Daily (read here) there is a very engrossing and expansive post covering critical reaction to the film from the 65th Venice International Film Festival. It would seem like if Raising Arizona had a cousin that was a spy film, then Burn After Reading would be that film.

If you ever wondered what Coen Brothers dialogue sounded like in German, you should watch the two trailers for this film at its German site (watch here). Burn After Reading was just today to the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival lineup.

Synopsis:

A dark-spy comedy from Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen. An ousted CIA official’s (Academy Award nominee John Malkovich) memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees intent on exploiting their find.
