Dpe s Coen-que quali, ’s also one of the most lyril, wistful and, mt be said, gay movi they’ve ever ma. The movie has been cricized for s pictns of gay characters, who seem straight out of one of the 30s and 40s noirs pays homage to; Bernie and Mk are both nnivg, Hays-Co-pliant “sissi” like Joel Cairo “The Malte Faln, ” while Eddie Dane is a terrifyg, ultra-mascule misogynist.

“Go ahead and n, sweetie, ” he growls after Marcia Gay Harn’s Verna.

A Roarg Twenti gangster saga that only the Coen brothers uld nct, Miller’s Crossg marri the hard-boiled sensibily of classic noir fictn wh the filmmakers’ tramark savory dialogue, lorful characters, and fely librated set piec. Gabriel Byrne brgs a wry gravas to the role of Tom Reagan, the quick-thkg right-hand man to a powerful crime boss (Albert Fney).

Ultimately, both Byrne and Fney ed Irish accents the Verna Bernbm, whose relatnships wh both Leo and Tom igne some of the film’s key tensns, Marcia Gay Harn livered one of the bt performanc of her reer, but wasn’t an easy role to get. We soon learn that Leo’s current squeeze is Verna Bernbm (Marcia Gay Harn), Bernie’s sister, which acunts for why he wants to protect him.

There’s also Leo’s girl, Verna (Marcia Gay Harn), who’s also Tom’s girl, and her slippery, double-alg brother Bernie Bernbm (John Turturro). For most of the movie I was nvced that Tom's schemg (to rep: he shags the girl his mob boss and bt mate lov, fs up, gets beaten up – repeatedly – swch allegiance to a rival boss, engeers his murr, kills the girl's brother, swch back, but still los the girl and his mate) was motivated by his love for Marcia Gay Harn's Verna. The Hopperque visuals of cematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, majtilly elegiac sre by Carter Burwell, and vivid supportg performanc om John Turturro and Marcia Gay Harn e together a slice of pulp perfectn that crackl wh sardonic w while plumbg existential qutns about ee will and our own terrifyg pacy for evil.
