Cold War paranoia
(Tajne przez poufne)
Comedy. USA, Dir. Joel and Ethan Coen with John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, George Clooney
In this modern-day comedy of errors, two dimwitted and unscrupulous gym employees (Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt) find a disc containing what they believe are classified CIA secrets and set up an ambitious plan to blackmail the agent to whom it belongs.
Set in the post-Cold War era, the role of
the agency appears to have been undermined, with both agents and private
citizens scrambling to create intrigue at every opportunity. Along the way, a
myriad of twisted relationships and deceptions offer a cinematic experience
full of dark humor and sharp irony. Writing and direction by the talented Coen
brothers - also known as the "two-headed director" - along with an awesome cast
make this film surefire Oscar material.
