Miller's Crossing

Set in 1929, a political boss and his advisor have a parting of the ways when they both fall for the same woman, which eventually leads to citywide gang war.

The Coens' take on Depression-era gangster flicks, looks gorgeous and showcases John Turturro's best acting ever, playing a gay Jewish bookie begging for his life out in the woods.

The only blot is the bonus material: Dull cast interviews. Joel Coen, who writes and directs, and Ethan Coen, who writes and produces, don't participate in any way. What gives?
