·The Man Who Wasn't There· by Joel & Ethan Coen @ Duncan Library

In “The Man Who Wasn’t There”, the Coen Brothers deliver a hypnotic neo-noir starring Billy Bob Thornton as a chain-smoking, taciturn barber whose life spirals into chaos after a blackmail scheme goes awry. Shot in stark, chiaroscuro-style black-and-white, the film masterfully blends existential dread with deadpan humor, unfolding like a fever dream of betrayal and fate.
