RC-2014-102: The Big Lebowski (1998)
Your browser does not support this audio
Now that the National Film Registry has deemed Lebowski "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," I thought it the perfect time to delve into the Coen's 1998 comedy/noir/half-assed thinkpiece on Reagan-era zeitgeist. I get lost in the beautiful shadow work of Deakins, point out relevant tropes found throughout the Coen's work, and speculate about what people will remember the day John Turturro dies. After explaining exactly what I think the movie's themes are, I decide that it doesn't matter because the Coens don't really mean any of it.
Show Notes
- Documentary about Lebowski culture
- William Kunstler documentary
- The Wikpedia page for Ron Kuby actually mentions his being name-checked in the film (I didn't mention that he and Kunstler were friends)
- Brunswick actually makes all kinds of shit, not just bowling and billiards
- Roger & Gene's original review
