Chicago, see the Coen brothers’ Hail, Caesar! early and for free
After going somber and subtle with the folk-music folktale Inside Llewyn Davis, Joel and Ethan Coen are making a big return to the world of screwball comedy with Hail, Caesar! The film follows a movie studio fixer on the trail of an AWOL A-lister in what will surely be the directing duo’s most direct send-up of Hollywood since Barton Fink. As if that weren’t enough of a draw, they’ve corralled together a top-notch cast of some choice repertory players (George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Frances McDormand, and Scarlett Johansson) and other big names making their Coen picture debut (Ralph Fiennes, Channing Tatum).
