'''''O Brother, Where Art Thou?''''' is a 2000 American comedy-drama-musical film, written, produced, edited, and directed by the [[Coen Brothers]]. It is a loose retelling of Homer's epic poem ''The Odyssey'', with the action relocated to the Depression-era American South. The film is perhaps most well-known for its well received period folk, country, bluegrass, and gospel-inspired soundtrack, which won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2002. | |||
In 1937 Mississippi, convict Ulysses Everett McGill ([[George Clooney]]) escapes from a chain gang with fellow prisoners Pete ([[John Turturro]]) and Delmar O'Donnell ([[Tim Blake Nelson]]) in tow. With Ulysses convincing the others that a buried treasure lies hidden in his hometown, the trio embark on an adventure that has them crossing paths with interesting characters and tangling up in unexpected situations. | |||
