In a bonus archival episode of our weekly podcast, we’re sharing a fascinating discussion with Joel and Ethan Coen from 2011, when they joined director Noah Baumbach to discuss their esteemed careers. The Coen Brothers’ latest film, Hail, Caesar!, opens in theaters today. Subscribe to The Close-Up on iTunes to hear fascinating discussions like this one every week and, if you like what you hear, leave us a review!

The central question of the event, which was called “Opening Shots,” was where and how to start a film, and the three directors surveyed the beginnings of some of the Coens’ most beloved work—from Blood Simple to No Country for Old Men—as a jumping-off point for a discussion of their approach to filmmaking. The event took place during the opening of our Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, which remains a home for enlightening and inspiring discussion with the biggest names in filmmaking.
