Hail Caesar



 Mildly amusing which keeps a grin on your face throughout. One for the film buffs. The on-set sequences are the most interesting and captures the era so well.
Josh Brolin convincing as Mannix, the Hollywood fixer at the time, and on reflection, fixes his own part again in the Hollywood story.
It did however from very early on remind me of Punchdrunk's brilliant production of The Drowned Man (a Hollywood Fable) which we saw in the summer of 2013. I just wonder if the Coens saw that production as it appears that late in 2013 they took an old idea of the shelf and reinvented it.

Good
