The Man Who Wasn't There
2001
****
Director: Joel Coen
Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Scarlett Johansson, James Galdolfini, Frances McDormand
Billy Bob Thornton gives a wonderfully controlled one-note performance as a quiet barber whose idyllic life slowly falls apsrt. This black and white film noir by the Coen brothers is not one of their best but it's visually striking and wonderfully atmospheric.
