Joel Coen Orden de los libros (cronológico)
Joel y Ethan Coen, conocidos conjuntamente como los hermanos Coen, son aclamados cineastas estadounidenses célebres por su distintiva voz cinematográfica. Su obra mezcla magistralmente géneros, transitando sin esfuerzo entre agudas comedias disparatadas, películas de cine negro atmosférico y narrativas innovadoras que desdibujan géneros. Famosos por su visión unificada y su enfoque creativo compartido, han creado un cuerpo de trabajo rico y aclamado por la crítica.
The screenplay to another offbeat movie by the Academy Award-winning Coen brothers. As a result of a case of mistaken identity, Jeffrey Lebowski - alias The Dude - finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bag man - a situation that goes from bad to even worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners.

It's easy to see why Raising Arizona is one of the best and most beloved films that Ethan and Joel Coen have yet to create. The cultish humor, original characters, fresh cinematography, catchy soundtrack, and zany yet well-structured plot to be found in this film are all Coen brothers trademarks. Nicholas Cage plays a veteran criminal who marries a prison guard named Edwina (Holly Hunter). Because he and his wife cannot conceive, our convict-hero kidnaps, with only the most earnest intentions, one of the famous "Arizona Quintuplets." A hellacious bounty-hunting biker and two old pals who have just escaped from the pen make it very hard for the couple to raise their child properly.This is a movie—and a screenplay—marked by breathless chases, improbable scenes, and hilarious dialogue throughout.
