Coens, Cars and the Highway

  • 0
Its not strange that filmmakers have their own way of conveying their perceptions and shooting the scenes in a particular format. Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese and Sergio Leone are the first names which pop into my mind when i think of resembling shots and scenes.

Coen Brothers have a peculiar style too, in most of the films we find a character driving a car on the highway. The shot usually starts with the camera facing the character and later showing the highway, sometimes conversations between the characters. These shots which show the highway through the front window of the car takes place at an important time in the film. Coen Brothers use these scenes for juxtapositions which involves objects of a crime scene, murder, guilt, apprehension...
