A Serious Man (2009)
En 1967, Larry Gopnik, professeur de physique dans une petite université du Midwest, vient d'apprendre que sa femme Judith allait le quitter. Elle est tombée amoureuse d'une de ses connaissances, le pontifiant Sy Ableman. Arthur, le frère de Larry, est incapable de travailler et dort sur le canapé. Danny, son fils a des problèmes de discipline à l'école hébraïque, et sa fille Sarah vole dans son portefeuille car elle a l'intention de se faire refaire le nez. Pendant ce temps, Larry reçoit à la fac des lettres anonymes visant à empêcher sa titularisation, et un étudiant veut le soudoyer pour obtenir son diplôme. Luttant désespérément pour trouver un équilibre, Larry cherche conseil auprès de trois rabbins. Qui l'aidera à faire face à ses malheurs et à devenir un mensch, un homme bien ?
Directeurs: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen.
