Two films featuring big names, similar trailer formats, and told in the same time period tell two vastly different stories.
The Coen brothers new dark comedy, “A Serious Man”, tells the story of a frustrated middle aged husband and father who must find peace with both his family and himself whereas Julianne Moore’s new drama, “A Single Man”, tells the story of an English professor’s struggle to carry on with his day-to-day life after the sudden death of his partner.
While both films share similar characteristics, they promise to be vastly different from one another in not only content matter but also narrative style.
Below are links to both trailers.
Notice the distinct parallel between the two previews (they both use quick, rapid shots with very little or no dialogue edited to a pulsating music track).
