The Big Lebowski
A 20th anniversary re-release of Joel and Ethan Coen's wild comedy headlining Jeff Bridges as the gregarious title character, known affectionately as The Dude. After the commercialism of Oscar winner Fargo, the Coens returned in 1998 to more quirky territory with this deliciously dark fable about a ten-pin bowling layabout (Bridges), who is mistakenly kidnapped by thugs believing him to be a millionaire philanthropist. Consequently, The Dude becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue, subterfuge and toe amputation. A stellar cast ambles through the Coens' surreal word of avant-garde painters, rubber-clad German nihilists and Busby Berkeley-style musical dream sequences, gladly mining the script's rich vein of offbeat humour.
