Billy Bob Thornton and James Gandolfini in The Man Who Wasn't There
The Big Picture While the previous decade saw the debut of popular dramatic television shows like The X-Files and Twin Peaks, the era of “prestige TV” didn’t truly begin until The Sopranos made its debut on HBO in 1999. It was evident from the show’s pilot that there was something unique about the way that the series approached its material, and it wasn’t just because of the brilliant writing by David Chase.
The Man Who Wasn't There RCrimeDrama A laconic, chain-smoking barber blackmails his wife's boss and lover for money to invest in dry cleaning, but his plan goes terribly wrong. One of the most brilliant aspects of the Coen brothers’ filmography is that the duo rarely creates characters that are clearly identified heroes or villains. For the most part, the figures they create have a level of ethical ambiguity, making it more compelling for audiences to invest in what unexpected direction the story could go. Gandolfini does a great job at playing an intimidating figure who nonetheless recognizes that he is a pawn within a larger scheme.
