Description: How do you turn Homer's Odyssey into a Depression-era prison-break comedy with a chart-topping bluegrass soundtrack? Only the Coen brothers would attempt it, and somehow they made it sing.Their freewheeling musical comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) stars George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson as three escaped convicts loose in 1930s Mississippi, with T Bone Burnett's soundtrack becoming a phenomenon all of its own. The Coens' direction and writing, the pioneering digital colour grading and the Man of Constant Sorrow craze get talked through in full. Luke, Westy and Matt close it out with a highlight each and scores out of 10.
