Coen Brothers
AboutThe Coen Brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen, are American filmmaker siblings known for writing, directing, and editing their films together — Fargo, No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, True Grit, O Brother, Where Art Thou? — and are canonical examples of the auteur in modern American cinema.

Filmmakers Kyle names among the directors he “voraciously consumed” growing up — listed alongside Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Rian Johnson. They recur as exemplars of Auteur Theory: the kind of artist who “owns so much of a creative experience,” a quality Kyle is drawn to (a lens that runs through his essay The Hits Business). On the Quentin Tarantino page they’re held up, with Tarantino and Scorsese, as artists whose ownership of a singular creative vision Kyle admires.
