The Coen’s big breakthrough, Fargo, didn’t feature much pop music. Instead, it had a sparse, lonely soundtrack that drew you into the harsh surrounding winter. But for just a moment, you can hear the track “These Boots Are Made for Walkin” in Carl and Gaear’s car radio. It’s one of a few of the Coen’s nod to filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, who also used...
Maybe there’s no better way to introduce one of the many antagonists in The Big Lebowskithan with a personalized version of a song by the Eagles — a band that Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski can’t stand. “Hotel California,” as performed by the Gipsy Kings, introduces Jesus Quintana — the purple-uniform wearing pederast that did six months in Chino for ...
As the next two songs will show, some of the most effective use of music can be found as the movie is just ending. “CIA Man” by the Fugs shows how a single song can tie up an entire movie filled with “what the hell?” moments as in Burn After Reading. Filled with funny lines and ironic statements, it’s the perfect summary to J.K. Simmons’ hilarious ...
Spoiler alert: Things rapidly turn bad for Larry Gopnik and his family toward the end of A Serious Man. The movie ends on a defined question mark, leaving the audience to debate whether things get ugly or not (Does Larry’s son escape from the tornado? Why does his doctor need to see him so urgently?) But the surprise, cliffhanger ending is kind of ...
It’s hard to think of a prettier song to be “saved” to than “Down To the River to Pray.” Led by Alison Krauss on the O Brother Where Art Thousoundtrack, the song guides the trio of Everett, Pete and Delmar to a service where Delmar is quick to wash away his sins. “Well, that’s it boys,” the not-so-quick-witted Delmar says over some truly angelic si...
Nicholas Cage’s chase scene in Raising Arizonais hilarious enough without music. There’s plenty of great, confusing elements: the brace-face teenager clerk that turns badass when he gets his hands on a massive handgun, Cage’s struggle to keep a huge package of Huggies in his arm while trying to lose the cops, the chained dog that breaks free, and C...
“Danny Boy” isn’t necessarily a song that you’d think to pair with hardcore mob violence. But the Coens seem to make it work by creating a hard contrast between rounds of gunfire and the phonograph-amplified version of the song. Albert Finney relaxes with the track and a cigar before fighting for his own life, and you almost wonder if “Danny Boy” g...
Bob Dylan’s “The Man in Me” opens up what is surely the Coen’s most connected-with and still-discussed movie in their catalog. The lazy, rolling track plays behind the familiar sounds and image’s of The Dude’s bowling alley, and the track is a musical response to Sam Elliott’s brief introduction to The Dude just minutes before: “Sometimes there’s a...
While it’s been debated whether he wrote the song or not, “Man of Constant Sorrow” is most-widely attributed to being written by a fiddler named Dick Burnett in the early 1900s. A new, revamped version was featured in O Brother Where Art Thou, which was a defining moment for the movie. The single wasn’t only a great part of the movie — carrying the...
