O Brother, Where Art Thou? 3D Blu Ray 2000

It was 1937, and Mississippi was in the throes of the Great Depression. Three convicts the self-assured Everett, the simple-minded Delmar, and the hot-tempered Pete escape from hard labor to find a hidden treasure worth over a million dollars. But time is running out, because the valley where the money is supposedly buried is set to be flooded to make way for a dam. Along the way, our fugitives encounter strange strangers, musicians, criminals, and religious fanatics, constantly finding themselves in situations that grow increasingly absurd.

The Coen brothers transformed an ordinary story about fugitive criminals into an unusual adventure comedy filled with American folklore, blues, and country music. Interestingly, the film was one of the first major Hollywood projects in which virtually the entire image underwent digital color correction. This is precisely how the filmmakers achieved the film’s distinctive golden-sepia look.
