Joel Coen
"We don't have any rules about how we depict violence, or how much violence is in a movie. It's a calibration on a case-by-case basis."

Rules

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen

Quote_1.png

Control

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"I'd be perfectly happy never to have to answer anything again about how I work with Ethan, or whether we have arguments, or... you know what I mean? I've been answering those questions for 20 years. I suppose it's interesting to people."
