Ratings and reviews

The Coen's love love of film--especially old Hollywood films--permeates every frame. In addition, Ethan Coen creates some the most quotable dialogue to grace an audience's ears. Hudsucker is an inspired modern fairy tale reminiscent of Frank Capra's classic 'simpleton makes good' tales but fashioned with much more visual flair. If the Coen Bros decided to film the Periodic Table---I'd still enjoy it. These guys can do no wrong.

For years and years this has been my number 1. It is also the most overlooked gem in the history of film....and gems. My space is limited so I will only say it is saturated with atmosphere and comedic perfection. Watch and cherish this amazing amazing film.
