Description:
Based on Homer’s Odyssey and conceived as a humorous homage to film director Preston Sturges’ “Sullivan’s Travels,” this cock-eyed American ode by the Coen brothers is a picaresque “convicts-on-the-run,” character-driven comedy through the mid-1930s Mississippi Delta. This excerpt, entirely driven by visual effects, features a blend of live-action plates with CG water, as well as computer-generated animals, flooded landscapes, floating barns and trees, musical instruments, and multiple cans of Dapper Dan pomade.
