The director-writer, who worked with his brother Joel for more than 30 years, explains how the 'grind' of filmmaking made it less 'fun' and how being 'bored' during the pandemic brought him back to the director's chair.
Coen says it was during this time that T-Bone Burnett, a “friend of many years,” approached him and wife, creative partner and editor Tricia Cooke about making a movie driven by archival footage, which was something they could do at home. “Honestly, T-Bone came to us like two weeks into the pandemic, so it was a lifesaver,” Cooke said.
“Nothing happened, certainly nothing dramatic,” he began. “You start out when you’re a kid and you want to make a movie. Everything’s enthusiasm and gung-ho, let’s go make a movie. And the first movie is just loads of fun. And then the second movie is loads of fun, almost as much fun as the first. And after 30 years, not that it’s no fun, but it’s more of a job than it had been.”
As for what made them difficult, Coen spoke to the larger process of making a movie, which he described as increasingly like a “grind.”
