Description
Article [1] Since its release in 2009, assertions that Joel and Ethan Coen's A Serious Man amounts to a retelling of the Book of Job have abounded among media commentators and academics alike. Writing in the Journal of Religion and Film Carol Linnitt referred to the film as a "modern day Job story"; in the journal Multicultural Perspectives Bernard Beck suggested it had been "[m]odeled on the Book of Job"; and in The New York Times A. O. Scott described A Serious Man as "the new movie version" of the biblical tale. (1)
