Not seen this for a while, and boy was it fun to revisit. My daughter asked me what it was about as it started and I told her it was all about a man and his stolen rug. She looked at me bemused but stayed the distance. Jeff Bridges turns in a career defining role as The Dude and is amply supported by the likes of John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. And let's not forget Sam Elliot. With a mellow soundtrack and some lovely Roger Deakins cinematography this really is one of the Coen Brother's best films.
It's a slacker crime noir and features kidnapping, porn stars, nihilistic gangsters and copious amounts of White Russians.
A joy from beginning to end.
10/10
