Our Page To Screen series takes an odyssey into the American South as we present the Coen Bros’ 2003 musical adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey, O Brother, Where Art Thou?
In the deep south during the 1930s, three escaped convicts search for hidden treasure while a relentless lawman pursues them, coming across comical characters and absurd situations along the way. Nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Picture – Music or Comedy in 2001, O Brother, Where Art Thou? has achieved cult status over the years, no doubt buoyed by its acclaimed and popular soundtrack, game performances, and Roger Deakins’ lush cinematography.
After the film, stick around for a discussion about the film with our Director of Social Media Marketing/Graphic Design, Bekah Phillips, and our friends from Arvida Book Co!
