Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe Coen Brothers (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) wrote the character Osborne Cox with John Malkovich in mind. Brad Pitt's character was also written with the actor in mind, inspired by a commercial for which he suffered a similar haircut and dye job. Indeed, the Coen Brothers noted at a Q&A session at the Venice Film Festival that all the leading characters were written for all the leading actors, with the exception of Tilda Swinton.
- GaffesWhen Linda and Chad are at the Russian Embassy, the picture behind Linda and Chad on the office wall is Boris Yeltsin, then in a security camera shot showing Chad and Linda waiting for Krapotkin, the portrait is of Vladimir Putin.

CIA Superior: What did we learn, Palmer?
CIA Officer: I don't know, sir.
CIA Superior: I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir.
CIA Superior: I'm fucked if I know what we did.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say
CIA Superior: Jesus Fucking Christ.
- Crédits fousAs usual, the Coen Brothers edited this film under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes
The good. Excellent acting. Totally off the wall characters, actions and situations, yet completely logical. Story with twists within twists. Well paced scenario. Solid dialogs. Nice action.
The actors. George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, and John Malkovich play disturbingly crazy roles stuffed with delusion and heavily dosed with stupidity. While Richard Jenkins, David Rasche, and J.K. Simmons seem almost out of place as the standard bearers of reason.
The bad. Since it's so bizarre, it won't please everyone.
The ugly. Nothing.
The result. Offbeat and cooky comedy. Don't think you'll see your run of the mill kind of film and you'll have fun.
