Coen Brothers Wow With Six Tales Of The Old West
Reuters reports that Coen brothers fans get six movies for the price of one in “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs." It's an anthology of Western stories starring, among others, James Franco, Liam Neeson, Tyne Daly and Tom Waits.
The movie is by the team that pulled off an acclaimed remake of the John Wayne Western “True Grit” in 2010. It had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival this week where it is one of three Netflix movies competing for the Golden Lion.
Ethan Coen told Reuters in an interview when asked how he felt about the movie going onto the streaming service, “In the States it’s getting a theatrical release.
We’re movie people and it’s important to us that people who want to see it on a big screen are able to do so."
