Universal has released the Coen Brothers' latest, a white comedy about pinko commies in the motion picture industry at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century.
What was an extremely serious situation, in which numerous careers were destroyed, and some were imprisoned by an out of control Federal government, has been turned upon its head, with George Clooney doing what he does best for the Coen's -- making funny faces.
Hail, Caesar! is a fun film, that probably works at about 75%, and ties in pleasantly with The Russians are Coming!
Shot on film, in 3-perf, and completed as a 4k DI, Universal's Blu-ray is a high quality affair, and a terrific viewing experience. Is there a UHD release in the offing?
If you wish you could have been on set in the early '50s, and crave seeing camera dollies in action, Hail, Caesar is a fun ride.
Be aware that (hopefully) part of the joke is the toying with tech film history, which is fully out of whack here.
My favorite character?
Frances McDormand's chain-smoking editor.
