The Coen Brothers and the Tree of Life: Qabalah and Tarot in the Films (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798555602329)

The films of the Coen brothers form a single, unified exploration of the importance of the hidden heart and the silence for the validity of the spoken and written word, whether it be speech, poetry, prose or song. The Coens derive their symbols from the Qabalah (Tree of Life) and the Tarot, and they are symbolist film-makers, in the same way as Stephane Mallarme was a symbolist poet. The book examines the web of symbolic connexions and interdependencies in fifteen of the key films.
