Screening: O Brother, Where Are Thou? (2000)

Take a rollicking journey through Depression-era Mississippi with Joel and Ethan Coen’s "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," a spirited comic adventure loosely inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey.
The film follows three escaped convicts—fast-talking Everett, loyal Delmar, and hotheaded Pete—as they search for buried treasure while encountering a colorful cast of prophets, politicians, sirens, outlaws, and musicians along the way.
Blending sharp humor, mythic storytelling, and an unforgettable soundtrack rooted in bluegrass, gospel, blues, and American folk traditions, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" celebrates the music, folklore, and storytelling spirit of the American South.
Run Time: 1 hour, 46 minutes
Film Rating: PG-13
