Joel and Ethan Coen, more commonly known as the Coen brothers, are American film directors best known for their films Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, A Serious Man and Inside Llewyn Davis. In this video, Michael Stuhlbarg, who worked with the Coen brothers on A Serious Man, discusses what it is like to have two directors. “They really are pretty much two sides of the same head. Joel will say ‘action’ and ‘cut and Ethan will mostly put his head down and sort of pace around in the back of the room and just listen listen listen very carefully. But as for asking them questions, you can ask either one and generally they’ll give an answer, and if they feel like they need to consult each other they do.”
