Monday Matinee “Burn After Reading” (2008)
Step into the darkly absurd world of Burn After Reading (2008), the razor-sharp black comedy from the Coen Brothers. When a disc containing supposedly classified CIA information falls into the hands of two clueless gym employees, a chain of paranoia, blackmail, and spectacularly bad decisions begins to spiral out of control. Starring George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, and Tilda Swinton, the film mixes espionage with painfully awkward humor and unforgettable characters. A chaotic and brilliantly cynical comedy where nobody really knows what they’re doing — including the spies.
