"The Man Who Wasn't There" - lots of neat clothing, hats

Liked that one a lot. Billy Bob Thornton was really good, and he is far from a favorite of mine.
The clothes, the sets, the cars, all worth a good look. And it's a great noir sendup as well. After "O Brother Where Art Thou?" I made it a point to look for the brother's work.

It's worth seeing this movie for the haircuts Billy Bob is giving alone!

Not bad for modern Noir, and in b&w too!
Another great flick by the Coen brothers. They handle the Noir genre pretty well. See Blood Simple (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086979/), Fargo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/), and even The Big Lebowski (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/)(in a comedic setting) as examples in the genre.

The cast of characters are the usual interesting lot from the Coens. Tony Shalhoub and James Gandolfini immediately come to mind as the lawyer and wife's lover.

A recommended film.
