The man who wasn't there
Blu-ray - 2026
The Coen brothers deliver a darkly witty noir set in 1940s California, where a disaffected barber suspects his wife's infidelity, sparking a spiral of blackmail and murder. Shot in stark black and white, the film blends classic noir style with surreal Americana, exploring fate's cruelty and life's cosmic uncertainty in a coolly riveting, existential thriller.
