A Serious Man (R)
The Coen brothers take their dark humor to fresh turf with the story of one man’s quest to become a serious man. When a physics professor sees his life unraveling (his wife is ditching him, his deadbeat brother won’t get off his couch -- and that’s just for starters), he consults three rabbis for help. Their answers are far from straightforward, and propel him to explore faith, bad behavior, death and life. (Michael Stuhlbarg Larry Gopnik, Sari Lennick Judith Gopnik)
