The Big Lebowski
“Times like these call for a Big Lebowski.”
Director
Joel Coen
Screenplay
Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
In Los Angeles, Jeffrey Lebowski, a carefree fortysomething who goes by The Dude and whose life revolves around bowling and White Russians, is mistaken for a millionaire namesake by thugs who ruin his rug. Determined to demand compensation, The Dude, alongside his hot-tempered friend Walter, becomes tangled in an absurd kidnapping case teeming with German nihilists, eccentric artists, and briefcases of cash. What starts as a comedy of errors spins into a labyrinthine parody of film noir. An absolute cult classic from the Coen brothers, hilarious, brilliantly written, and utterly unclassifiable.
