Great Moments in Knowing Your Interview is Over: The Coens Edition
Aren’t people going to say this film is way ‘too Jewish’?
Joel (Coen): (rubs sleep from his eyes)
Of course, there's more to Sharon Waxman's interview with the Coen Brothers at The Wrap. The problem is, it sounds like she either spoke to them at five in the morning or she was unable to get them truly worked up about anything. She even asked the question about Job, which (surprised) Ethan Coen:
That’s a natural association to make. Job is a man whose faith is being tested. But this is not that. As for being autobiographical, it’s very much so in terms of the setting -- the Jewish community in the suburban Midwest. But the story has nothing to do with our domestic situation. Ours was boring, normal.
Unfortunately, by then, the Coens appeared to have mentally checked out and were probably waiting around for the next set of questions about Judism, personal flair and dybbuks.
