A Serious Man (2009)
Eigentlich lebt Larry Gopnik ein beschauliches Leben in einer kleinen jüdischen Gemeinde im Mittleren Westen der USA. Er ist ein liebender Ehemann, fürsorglicher Vater und erfolgreicher Professor. Aber irgendwie läuft plötzlich nichts mehr so wie gewohnt. Larrys Gattin verlangt die Scheidung, um mit ihrem selbstgefälligen neuen Liebhaber zusammenleben zu können. Sein Sohn hat Probleme in der Schule, die Tochter bestiehlt ihn, um sich eine Nasenkorrektur finanzieren zu können. Sein psychisch labiler Bruder hockt nur noch auf der Couch herum. Und als ob die Familie nicht schon genügend Probleme bereiten würde, gerät auch noch Larrys Karriere ins Trudeln. So beschließt er, sich Hilfe bei einem Rabbi zu holen. Doch auch das ist leichter gesagt als bekommen…
Die Regisseur: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen.
