![How the Coen Brothers Direct Comedy & Violence [Directing Styles Explained]](/img/tr.png)
Hi everyone. I got a little waylaid making the video I was supposed to after the last, so this came as a good palette cleanser. The video is a collaboration with Luís Azevedo (Beyond The Frame), and tonally we went in a different direction than normal - therefore we decided to get an actor to do the vocals. You may recognize Stephen Chance from my short 'Life Outside The Frame' - bit.ly/2nhOEXK. We plan this to be the first of a series that explores comedy techniques in film (we may do TV too). I also still have VIP passes available from MUBI for new Patreon supporters.
I'm looking for a doco on the Coen bros which I saw years ago and explained their youth growing up in Minnesota and the influences they were exposed to in those days. Do you have any idea of that show ?
The Discarded Image what is the list of these movies featured? Why aren’t they already listed in the description?
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Brayan Canaan instablaster =)
@Alberto Camilo thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
well yeah that's just like your opinion man
Yours is also an opinion
A Serious Man is seriously underrated
Me sir my sir.
One of my favorite of Coens, funny as hell i cried of laughter.
A Seriously Underrated Man
I wish I could agree with you, I eagerly awaited that one as I thought iI would love it.I couldn't care less about any aspect of that film and found nothing funny or entertaining within it. It was filmed beautifully but intentionally was drab and cold which didn't help me. I'm glad to see others enjoyed it but I truly despised that entire experience.
i find it impenetrable. and i think the Coens made it so on purpose.
This is actually a really interesting series. It's teaching me things about the structure of humor that I never really had formalized in my head before.
"Wreaking havoc on comprehension" made me laugh harder than any joke told in this video.
That Kerschner effect build-up took 7 seasons for GoT
Winter is coming...
winter went
What are you, nuts? Have you forgotten winter?
it feels like i both learned things and lost braincells
beautiful video
These video essays actually keep me watching unlike the others
The way you’ve been able to recreate the flow of a Coen Brothers dialogue exchange in a video essay is pretty insane.
9:29 also.. is that Prezbo from The Wire?
His name's Buzz. He's got the fuzz, and he makes the elevator do what she duzz.
@@TomEyeTheSFMguy He provided my favorite line from the movie: "You know, for drinks?"
I think the way you said nomenclature just changed how I see the world a little bit. Thanks!
Nice moves, keep it up!
I love the Hudsukerproxy. Severely underrated film.
This video is a beautiful piece of art. I keep on rewatching!
Thank you! I always wondered what word Mr. Lebowski was using in his first conversation with the Dude. Micturate. I can't wait to use it, myself.
Epic line. “Every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I’m to compensate the owner?”
I was hoping to see another video from this channel.
It was a long wait, but I think it was worth it.
Great video. Hopefully we will see another soon, good luck.
Coen brothers are awesome! They create weird characters in a weirder universe and intersperse action and comedy into the narrative!
this video is a work of art, congratulations
Comedy is the fastest target to hit , and the quickest to age
only few have mastered the ageless formula of this recipe
-original quote from Lindsay Ellis elaborated -altered- by me lol
Rumiko Takahashi ain't one of these masters, despite vicious insistence from her fanboys/girls that she is.
i would say "the ageless formulaof this target" but sure.
This is so Coen Brothers, I'm not at all convinced that you aren't one of their fictional collaborators, like Roderick Jaynes. Are you sure you're real?
Roderick Jaynes is a cantankerous old man ;)
This is a fantastic video! Everything from the script and the narration, to the editing. Great work!
I hope you do make more in this series. :D
What's So Great About That? Thanks Grace. I'm glad all the pieces came together for people. There was always the worry it would be a bit left field from what I usually do, but the general reaction seems to be positive thus far.
The Discarded Image I agree, great job bud, keep it up!
This was fantastic in every way! How the hell did it take so long to get into my recommendations?! Excellent- liked and subbed ☺️👍🏻
This is a marvelous piece of video. Thank you.
Amazing. Simply amazing. I will share this with everyone i know.
Wow! Great work in every aspect.
This is such a smartly made video, man!
What an absolutely delightful video.
Excellent and insightful video... it's always a pleasure to watch your content
This deserves at least 1000x more views, this was fucking great.
I am beyond amazed to find out that the narrator of StudioBinder is in here
It sounds like him, but until we get the name of studiobinder's narrator, it's ambiguous, like the ending of a Coen Brothers film.
-Where does he work?
-I can't say.
-Where does he work?
-Sir, I ain't at liberty to give out no information about our residents.
-Where does he work?
-Did you not hear me? We can't give out no information.
"You're a bit deaf, aren't you?"
Fuck me, that was like Comedy 101. Perfect
Wow. This video is so well made....
Nice video 👌 great writing and voice over.
The rabbi is busy had me dying. Holy shit
"....hes thinking"
Stephen Chance is the next Paul Vaughan. How marvellous!
Really cool video, my dudes!
its a technique called, "The Kerschner Principle"
Good job, you watched the video
@@kazzajaxon7566 its a technique called, "The Kerschner Principle"
@@kennedycutter3668 It's a technique called The Kershner Principle.
@@reimereason You'd be forgiven for thinking that it's a technique called The Kerschner Principle
I'm sorry but what's the technique called again?
just discovered this channel,epiccc
You make amazing videos!
This is so well made.
lmao It's my favorite leftie on UA-cam! What are you doing here, comrade?
what an absolute genius video
You should have started with "Okay, then" from Raising Arizona, it's said at least 6 times by 6 different characters in the opening 11 min, and then several more times throughout the movie. The Coens are masters of repetition, well, they're masters of everything really, so...
"the brothers; Coen" I love this channel
Awesome video, thanks!
This vid is just plain silly-I LOVE IT
That was amazing.
Not oral, aural and in the background: you know, for the kids...so good
HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Superb video!
To the initial question, I would have said Sam Raimi because as second unit director I'm pretty sure he directed the great hula hoop sequence of The Hudsucker Proxy, filling in the gap of the circle. You know, for kicks.
The rest is pretty spot on the spot.
very nice video. More on Coen Brothers :)
Holy shit this is an amazingly made video
oral
You know for kids!
I ded. And on a list
You are a filmmaker yourself.
The editing is so genius, that i tried to stick money through my smartphone and give it to you.
It didn't work sadly.
Damn... We're in a tight spot
that asian dude in "a serious man" was so gangsta
I did not witness my buddies dying face down in the muck for..! Fuck it I'm finishing my coffee.
This is fucking incredible. Thank you.
This video essay is ahead of its time, truly awesome stuff guys. Get rid of that Assveedviseo guy though tbh... - Thomas
The people saying this video is messy don't understand that what is said is practiced immediately or ahead of time, so genius
Ikr.
Jesus Christ man, your editing is spot on and the content is just a bowl of excellence
Goddamnit that was a really good video
Brilliant.
Damn we’re in a tight spot!
what are the names of all the films showed in the MUBI preview?
S tier editing
7:10 No, Homonym was an alien on Star Trek: The Next Generation played by Carel Struycken.
Wow, really cool video
Absolutely brilliant breakdown! With an English accent to boot! That's like getting 2 for the price of 1 to this damned Yank!
Fuck man, great video, your editing is marvelous
Subscribed. The Dude abides.
wow, that was a feat of editing
no idea what you're going on about, but it's edited like a dream
I feel like I'm one of the few people who study the Kershner principle avidly.
"it's that chasm; the proverbial slot"
Is the narrator in this video the narrator in some videos by studiobinder?
Enjoyed this. Maybe you can get William Preston Robertson to do the next...
His golden throat...
🎉🎉 Really appreacite this eductational videos
Others might miss it, and I only caught the clever pattern after thinking about this video in retrospect once I actually finished it. I think it's actually inventively clever how the informative essay video itself was constructed in the steps it describes, thus becoming a clever way to emulate the styles of the directors being honoured. Basically supposed to be like the Coen brothers themselves made THIS vid, or feel as if you just watched a film of theirs. Clever way to be the example its depicting. ;)
What was the song at 10:46 ?
Pomp and ceremony
This aggression will not stand man.
"It's not that you're wrong, Walter. You're just an asshole!"
love the word Mubi which means ugly in Zulu
Appearances can be deceptive, Osborne Cox.
Cohen brother's movies are the bible of the cinema
the spy from BURN AFTER READING that kept repeating the law firm's name
Now you've done it. I've taken an in-ter-est....
Fantastic (and from a writer's perspective), inspiring and motivating video. Cheers!
great
what is the movie at 4:33 called ?
Barry Super okay thanks man :)
Music @ 11:30?
4:20 Plexiglass
Sean Ramsdell Had it installed
last week.
Who does the VO for this??
I think it was said at the end. Steven (or Stephen) Chance.
What movie was the guy dropping his pants?...
Richard Hannay What's Up Doc.
Please do Yorgos Lanthimos and Armando Iannucci!
The Coen Brothers use style to serve their narrative. This video on the other hand seemed like a clumsy attempt at style which drove at relatively little. A kaleidoscopic collection of quick cuts which drove in no particular direction. I imagine this is how watching a Coen brothers film feels if you aren’t paying attention; bewildered, disappointed, bored and annoyed.
This is fucking brilliant
Please french traduction of that vidéo.
Who's this Luïss Assavedo guy?
A real joker/holder on/leach. I highly doubt he's done anything creative on his own and just rides the coattails of others.But honestly-great job on this one (and that goes to both of you!)
Jack's Movie Reviews I put the Ass in Azevedo
Isn-t this the speaker from "Little Britain"?
No. That was Tom Baker. Who was also one of the most popular incarnations of Dr Who.
2:28 XD
To be honest, didn't understand a single thing from the video, have to say Coen brothers has a really weird kind of sense of humour!
only thing missing is the movie titles
