Trailer!: A Serious Man

POSTED: Thursday, July 30, 2009, 5:00 PM
Filed Under: Movies trailer!

Ok, so here's a trailer with no discernible clues to a narrative arc and no big star to carry it. The only real, superficial draw is the Coen Bros. brand. The marketing department over at Focus Features has got some pair releasing this. That being said, I like a trailer with mystery. It's not one of those we-just-saved-you-ten-bucks-'cause-you-just-saw-all-the-best-jokes kind of trailers, nor is it one of those trailers where I can see exactly who the marketing dept. is trying to attract (like when you see two very different trailers for the same movie during, say, Gossip Girl and a baseball game). So, I know the plot of this movie but I had some fun trying to construct one from the info given in this trailer. Come up with anything good?
