How do you follow up a multiple-award-winner like NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN? With relative ease it seems, if you are Joel and Ethan Coen. In BURN AFTER READING they retain the ability to glimpse into the dark heart of humanity, while turning up the black humour several notches and flirting with the spy genre. An ousted CIA official’s (Malkovich, THE LIBERTINE) memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two gym employees (Pitt and McDormand), who are then intent on exploiting their find. Reuniting with George Clooney, the Coens also add Tilda Swinton (MICHAEL CLAYTON) and Richard Jenkins (THE VISITOR) to their increasingly impressive roster of stars.
