I think this was the first Coen Brothers film I saw; I certainly have a strong memory of seeing it one holiday from Uni with my mate Chris at the wonderful Filmhouse cinema in Edinburgh. Tim Robbins is ideal in the lead role, and this stands as one of the most whimsical and outright quirky of their films. It's unquestionably funny and visually clever, but I do find the tone starts to wear and grate somewhat. But it's also hard to resist and blessed with a warm heart alongside the darker shades.
