(2001)Directed by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen116 min · RCrime, Drama

Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton) cuts hair in a small California town in the summer of 1949, a quiet man who has little to say to his wife Doris (Frances McDormand) or anyone else. When a stranger offers him a partner's share in a new business for ten thousand dollars, Ed sees a way out. Joel and Ethan Coen build the story around a man watching his own days go by, and how much a person can lose without making a sound.
