George Clooney singing in 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'

The Big Picture There’s an argument to be made that Joel and Ethan Coen are the most significant American filmmakers of the last few decades. Throughout their eclectic career, the duo has tackled countless genres and continuously challenged expectations as to what a “Coen Brothers” movie should look like.

Release Date December 22, 2000 Director Joel Coen Cast George Clooney , John Turturro , Tim Blake Nelson , Charles Durning , Michael Badalucco , John Goodman , Holly Hunter Runtime 107 Minutes 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' Contains Unintentional References to 'The Odyssey' Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey is one of the most influential adventure narratives of all time.
