In this video essay we look at the Coen Brother's filmography, and how they deploy repetition as a comic technique. The video was made in collaboration with Luís Azevedo from Beyond The Frame, and features narration by the actor Stephen Chance.

  • Hi everyone. I got a little waylaid making the video I was supposed to after the last, so this came as a good palette cleanser. The video is a collaboration with Luís Azevedo (Beyond The Frame), and tonally we went in a different direction than normal - therefore we decided to get an actor to do the vocals. You may recognize Stephen Chance from my short 'Life Outside The Frame' - bit.ly/2nhOEXK. We plan this to be the first of a series that explores comedy techniques in film (we may do TV too). I also still have VIP passes available from MUBI for new Patreon supporters.

    • I wish I could agree with you, I eagerly awaited that one as I thought iI would love it.I couldn't care less about any aspect of that film and found nothing funny or entertaining within it. It was filmed beautifully but intentionally was drab and cold which didn't help me. I'm glad to see others enjoyed it but I truly despised that entire experience.

I think it's actually inventively clever how the informative essay video itself was constructed in the steps it describes, thus becoming a clever way to emulate the styles of the directors being honoured. Basically supposed to be like the Coen brothers themselves made THIS vid, or feel as if you just watched a film of theirs. Clever way to be the example its depicting. ;)

  • The Coen Brothers use style to serve their narrative. This video on the other hand seemed like a clumsy attempt at style which drove at relatively little. A kaleidoscopic collection of quick cuts which drove in no particular direction. I imagine this is how watching a Coen brothers film feels if you aren’t paying attention; bewildered, disappointed, bored and annoyed.
