    1949, Santa Rosa, California. A laconic, chain-smoking barber with fallen arches tells a story of a man trying to escape a humdrum life. It's a tale of suspected adultery, blackmail, foul play, death, Sacramento city slickers, racial slurs, invented war heroics, shaved legs, a gamine piano player, aliens, and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Ed Crane cuts hair in his in-law's shop; his wife drinks and may be having an affair with her boss, Big Dave, who has $10,000 to invest in a second department store. Ed gets wind of a chance to make money in dry cleaning. Blackmail and investment are his opportunity to be more than a man no one notices. Settle in the chair and listen.

    IMDB | Wikipedia | Rotten Tomatoes

    Written, produced, and directed by Joel & Ethan Coen, The Man Who Wasn't There is about a quiet, rigid barber who suspects his wife of having an affair with her boss. When he gets into a scam-deal, he blackmails his wife's lover and it backfires as he accidentally kills him. The film harkens back to the Coen Brothers' love for film noir dating back to their 1984 debut film Blood Simple while setting it on post-war 1940s in Northern California. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, Jon Polito, Michael Badalucco, Richard Jenkins, Scarlett Johansson, and Tony Shalhoub. The Man Who Wasn't There is a gorgeous yet eerie film from the Coen Brothers.

    The Man Who Wasn't There / O Homem que Não Estava Lá (2001) [Re-UP]

    Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton) is a quiet barber who works at a barbershop owned and managed by his talkative brother-in-law Frank (Michael Badalucco) as Ed is married to Frank's sister Doris (Frances McDormand) who works at a department store run by a big-shot named Big Dave (James Gandolfini). During a dinner with Doris, Big Dave, and Dave's wife/store heiress Ann Nirdlinger (Katherine Borowitz), Ed suspects that Doris is having an affair with Dave as he prefers to keep it to himself. When a traveling businessman from Sacramento named Creighton Tolliver (Jon Polito) arrives into town about a business proposal involving dry cleaning, Ed becomes interested and wants to be involved as a silent partner. To get the money, Ed decides to blackmail Dave at a store party only to deal with a tense Dave who is having other issues.

    Despite pondering over what he's doing, Ed gets the money in secrecy as he gives it to Tolliver hoping things would go well. After returning home from a wedding reception for Doris' cousin as Doris got drunk, Ed gets a call from Dave who asks him to come to the store. Dave reveals what he found out as a fight led to bad consequences as Ed returns home thinking nothing happened until the next day when Doris was arrested for Dave's murder. With Ed and Frank searching for a lawyer, Ed turns to his neighbor Walter Abundas (Richard Jenkins) whose teenage daughter Birdy (Scarlett Johansson) has wowed Ed with her classical piano playing. After Walter suggests in getting hot-shot lawyer Freddy Riedenschneider (Tony Shalhoub) to defend Doris despite his hefty price tag. Ed's guilt starts to consume him as he confesses to Doris and Riedenschneider about what happened only for Riedenschneider to dismiss Ed's claim.

    Following a strange visit from Ann Nirdlinger who claims that UFOs has taken Dave, Ed tries to deal with all that's happened as he finds comfort in Birdy's piano playing. On the day of Doris' trial, something happens leaving Ed ruined as he discovers some startling secrets from a private detective (Jack MeGee). Wanting to find redemption, Ed decides to invest in Birdy's future as a pianist as he gets her to audition for a music expert named Carcanogues (Adam Alexi-Malle) where its aftermath brings Ed some surprising revelations over everything that he's been through.

    What makes The Man Who Wasn't There such a different film from previous efforts was the restraint the film took. While there's bits of humor involving UFOs and a strange fantasy sequence near the end of the film. It adds to some of the offbeat quirks needed to provide the character of Ed Crane a sense of surrealism that he's dealing with in the aftermath of what he's done. The directing of the film is as evocative than any other films with imaginative, subtle images that really gives the film a 1940s look. Even with shots where everything is stilted and all of these symbols come into a room. The Coen Brothers' writing is as potent as ever with not just clever, witty dialogue but extremely moving moments while their narrative flows in a smooth, comforting way. The overall work is an entrancing yet meditative piece from the Coen Brothers.

    Complementing the directing style in the cinematography department is longtime regular Roger Deakins. Deakins' masterfully, lush black-and-white photography gives the film a noir-like feel that hadn't been felt since the Coens' 1985 debut Blood Simple. With help from production designer Dennis Gassner and costume designer Mary Zophres, the film captures the look of late 1940s with the right detail and tone that helps Deakins' photography shine.

    The editing of Roderick Jaynes (the alias of the Coen Bros.) is wonderfully paced in its slow but mesmerizing style that helps to convey the genre. With the piano sonnets of Beethoven played throughout the film, longtime Coen Brothers composer Carter Burwell brings a dark, eerie score with his lush orchestral arrangements to capture the noir, restrained tone of the movie.

    Then there's the film rich cast with wonderful cameos from Christopher McDonald and The Hudsucker Proxy star Jennifer Jason Leigh, in an un-credited cameo that plays up to the film's quirks. Smaller performances from Adam Alexi-Malle as Carcanogues and Richard Jenkins as Walter Abundas are wonderfully performed while Katherine Borowitz give a haunting performance as Big Dave's wife Ann. Scarlett Johansson delivers an amazing yet entrancing performance as Birdy Abundas. Johansson brings a complexity to her role as the innocent, bright Birdy who has purity to Ed Crane but also has a haunting presence with her piano playing that has a dark element to the film. Coens regular Michael Badalucco brings a comical performance as Frank, who seems to know everything but is really a childlike character. Tony Shalhoub is the film's best supporting performance as the fast-talking Freddy Riedenschneider with his over-the-top persona and egomaniacal tone.

    Coen regular Jon Polito also brings a comical presence to the film as Creighton Tolliver while James Gandolfini brings a wonderful performance as Big Dave with his big-man persona and complex emotions when he's threatened before going to his mean, Tony Soprano mode. Longtime Coens regular (and Joel's wife) Frances McDormand delivers another masterful performance as Ed's wife Doris. McDormand brings a role as the cheating wife who is in an unhappy lifestyle but when she realizes what Ed has done for, McDormand makes her character be filled with regret and sadness as she also combines comedic elements early on. Billy Bob Thornton is the film's greatest performance as the chain-smoking Ed Crane with his restrained, quiet performance of a man who is trying to find a way out of his dismal life. Thornton gives an understated tone while having wonderful scenes with all the actors, notably Gandolfini, McDormand, Johansson, and Shalhoub. This is by far one of Thornton's best performances.
