The Coen Brothers they were just consecrated in the first decade of the new millennium, because although they had many ups and downs, they ended up conquering the Academy with their film «No country for old men"In 2007.
The awards received for this film did justice to some excellent races that its authors had not been valued as they deserved.
Joel and Ethan Coen begin the XNUMXst century with the peculiar adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" in their film "O Brother!»In 2000, a film with which they returned to the Oscars this time with the nomination for best adapted screenplay, as well as best cinematography. George Clooney, the protagonist of the film, won the Golden Globe.
But if "O Brother!" it was a good movie, the one from the following year «The man who was never there»Was extraordinary. With stunning Bafta and other award-winning black and white photography, the filmmakers create a spectacular film noir atmosphere. With this film they once again won the award for best director at Cannes.
His 2003 film «Intolerable cruelty»Was much weaker than the latter, probably because the script, unlike most of his films, was not exclusively by the two of them, but rather that Robert Ramsey and Matthew Stone also participated.
Nor did they take flight much the following year with the remake of "The Quintet of Death" called "ladykillers“Despite this, Irma P. Hall's great performance was rewarded with the Cannes Jury Prize.
In 2006 and 2007 they participated in the films of various directors "Paris Je t'aime" and "To each his cinema" respectively.
And finally, in 2007, their year came, with "It is not a country for old men" the coen brothers they won the Oscars by winning four awards, including best film, best directors and best adapted screenplay that they collected themselves. They also won two Golden Globes and three Baftas.
In 2008 they shot «Burn after reading«, A film of little success despite getting two nominations for the Golden Globes, one of them best comedy, and three for the Baftas.
And his 2009 film also left a lot to be desired. «A serious guy»Won several nominations for different awards, including two for the Oscars, best film and best original screenplay, but ultimately fell short of what was initially expected of her.
