The Hudsucker Proxy • The Next Reel

Happy New Year! To ring in 2014, we wanted to find a tie-in to the new year so landed on 1994's Coen brothers comedy, "The Hudsucker Proxy." Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we delve back into the comedies from our good friends the brothers Coen and ring in 2014 with this fun film. We talk about the overall feel of the Coens' films and compare their comedies to their dramas. We discuss what it takes to be a great film and what would make one 'lesser' and where we'd put this film. We chat about any deeper meaning about corporate greed that can be read into this film, and whether or not it was intentionally put there by the Coens and their co-writer, Sam Raimi, or not. And we talk about how Roger Deakins' work has evolved over the years with the Coens and what changes he's made in his own style from watching in their washroom. It's a fun movie and one worth watching and discussing. Check it out! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes!
