O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Take an epic, music-filled trip with the Coen Brothers and their hilarious homage to The Odyssey, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, part of ART HOUSE THEATER DAY 2026!

Fed up with crushing rocks on a prison farm in Depression-era Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) busts loose … except he’s still shackled to two misfits from his chain gang: bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro), and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson). With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain, the three embark on a riotous odyssey across the South, along the way accidentally becoming bluegrass stars known as “The Soggy Bottom Boys.”  Loosely based on The Odyssey, and populated with a rogue’s gallery of colorful characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens, and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman), this is one wild and woolly adventure Homer never could have imagined! Featuring a Grammy-winning soundtrack of blues, folk, and gospel music produced by T-Bone Burnett. (Dir. by Joel Coen, 2000, USA, 107 mins., Rated PG-13)
