But like <i>O Brother Where Art Thou?</i>, the previous film by Joel and Ethan Coen, it goes a step – a small step – beyond mere imitation towards a broader fusion of nostalgias. Steeped in artifacts and atmosphere, <i>The Man Who Wasn’t There</i> is a period piece realized in the dominant cultural trends of that era, that is, the 1950s. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
