Hail, Caesar! (2016) Directed by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Comedy / Mystery
Film Synopsis
Hollywood, in the 1940s. As head of one of the biggest film studios
in the world, Eddie Mannix has his hands full trying to resolve the multitude
of setbacks that hit him every day of his working life. Fragile egos
and temperamental divas are Eddie's stock in trade, and there are days when
you could easily mistake him for a clinical psychologist, social worker or
peace envoy. It is his job to persuade Hobie Doyle, a juvenile who
made his name in westerns, that it is time for him to gravitate to more serious
fare like love films, and it is equally his responsibility to keep Miss DeeAnna
Moran's love life in order. When Baird Whitlock, the star of his next
sand and sandals epic Hail, Caesar, fails to show up, Eddie doesn't bat an
eyelid. Knowing Baird, he's probably sleeping off yet another of his
killer hangovers. Then some seriously bad news hits him. Baird
has been kidnapped and his abductors, a group of political activists, are
demanding a ransom of 100,000 dollars. Life in the movies definitely
isn't all it is cracked up to be...

The best of American cinema
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
