Musical retelling of Homer's Odyssey infused into a tale of salvation in the deep south. The cinematography is actually one of Roger Deakin's finest hours. Every frame looks like it could be in a museum. The sepia-like treatment was done in post-production but until you've seen it on Blu-ray, you ain't seen it right. The 1080p is indeed MUCH improved. It's not subtle.

As for Coens' worst--the award goes to A Serious Man, which sucked. Ladykillers, Hudsucker Proxy, Man Who Wasn't There, Blood Simple, Raising Arizona and Miller's Crossing were all significantly worse than O Brother.

I'll agree with you on O'Brother. Great film. The problem with comparing ANY Coen Bros. film is, at the end of the day, you are comparing apples and oranges, in that each is significantly different from the others. Ladykillers was mediocre, but the worst Coen Bros. film (which at least which bore their name) must be.....Intolerable Cruelty.
