A film noir, shot in black and white, and takes place in the 40's (It is more along the tragic side of the Coen Brothers). The film has a great soundtrack, the music of Beethoven on piano. The story is of a quiet and passive barber who embezzles his wife's boss, with far greater consequences than anyone can see. It doesn't portray a very hopeful look at the future of human beings and the life we have created for ourselves. It also show the pain that a completely passive life can lead to. Ed, the main character, chooses to late to start to take charge of his life, the passivity of his youth has determined a lot of his future, which in the end is just, but tragic.
