Written, produced and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) is an edgy Neo-Noir that was heavily influenced by the works of James M. Cain. The story focuses on a barber who blackmails his wife's lover, and the resulting trouble that ensues. Roger Deakins provides wonderful black and white cinematography (which was digitally altered from color shots) and smooth period detail. The ensemble cast is great, including Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, Scarlett Johansson and Tony Shalhoub.
