RE: Magnificent Ambersons and A Touch of Evil also are convincing

Both great movies, but even if he'd only, done 'Kane', he'd be in the upper echelon.
"....have fallen far since "Fargo,"
There's a lot of truth to that, but of the three movies they've done since ~~'Fargo'~~ 'O Brother Where Art Thou', only one is a true dud ('Ladykillers'). 'Intolerable Cruelty' was a bit of fluff, but relatively enjoyable fluff. As for 'The Man Who Wasn't There', I guess I see more value in the film than some. For me, it was a wonderful study in 'noir', and true noir at that-shadowy, grim, a seemingly good man caught up in his desires until his morality is stretched to the breaking point (and with an ending proper to true noir). Along with a good story and wonderful cinematography, the Coens got a superb and measured performance out of Billy Bob.
As for the future-there's a lot of good buzz coming out of Cannes about 'No Country for Old Men'. Check out this trailer and tell me it doesn't take you back to 'Blood Simple'!
"....Pasolini or Fassbinder...."
Which is why this question is impossible to really answer, but still fun to talk about.
