A Serious Man is the story of an ordinary man’s search for clarity in a universe where Jefferson Airplane is on the radio and “F-Troop” is on TV. It is 1967 and Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg), a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) that she is leaving him. Larry’s unemployable brother Arthur (Kind) is sleeping on the couch, his son Danny (Wolff) is a discipline problem and his daughter Sarah (McManus) is filching money from his wallet in order to save up for a nose job. All-the-while an anonymous hostile letter-writer is trying to sabotage Larry’s chances for tenure at the university, and a graduate student seems to be trying to bribe him for a passing grade while threatening to sue him for defamation. Can anyone help him cope with his afflictions and become a righteous person – a mensch – a serious man?A Serious Man is directed by Joel and Ethan Coen and stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, Aaron Wolff, Sari Lennick, Jessica McManus and Adam Arkin.
