PREVIEW

My rating:
I was spellbound by the beautiful performance of the 3 prisoners "loosers" escapees, who throughout the film never cease to amaze us.

The music of the Southern States in the 30s is very present throughout the film and songs are an irresistible charm. Dailleurs, everything in this film charmed me ......

Sirens bewitch our three lads, George Clooney is at its peak and we can only be seduced by the characters who seem so naive and innocent.

This film is a moment of pure happiness and is said to be one of the best films of the Coen brothers.

SONG OT THE SIRENS
