    The Coen brothers are indeed not simple. It is a skill to be able to tell such a twisted and embarrassing story and unknowingly arouse the curiosity of the audience. Some details and volt lines are set very cleverly, and the characters and performances are also unforgettable. Narrative technique itself is one of the most important elements of a film's structure, and it's an attractive point of view.
