The trailer piqued my interest

I didn't like Man Who Wasn't There. In fact I disliked it. I saw it as a copout and an unwitting indictment of my generation--how shallowness and bullshit masquerade as depth. It was a bad story. Yeah, the style, directing and writing were there, but not the substance.

I think the Coen bros wrote their own destiny in Barton Fink (one of my absolute favorite films with stunning visual depth and symbolism). The protagonist goes to hollywood to capitalize on his success as a New York playwright. He attributes this success to his bond with the "common man" and is apprehensive about hopping to the west coast. By the end of the film he is wandering around a beach carrying someone else's head, while the contents of his own head are no longer his but a studio tycoon's.
