Ethan Coen is an American filmmaker who has, together with his brother Joel Coen, written, produced, directed and edited a number of successful and acclaimed films. These include Barton Fink, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country for Old Men and True Grit. Since the beginning of their career in 1984 till 2003, though the brothers were involved in both production and direction of the movies, Ethan Coen was credited as the producer while the credit for direction went to Joel. This changed later with the 2004 film The Ladykillers from which the brothers were credited both as the directors and producers of their films. The Coen brothers share the writing credits jointly and, under the pseudonym of Roderick Jaynes, also edit their films together. The brothers have received several awards for their work and their best director Academy Award for No Country for Old Men was the first where two directors received the honours together since 1961. For a number of films, the brothers have just written screenplays. These include Angelina Jolie’s directed Unbroken and Steven Spielberg directed Bridge of Spies. Apart from filmmaking, Ethan Coen has also written several stage plays, directed numerous commercials and penned a fiction book and a couple of collection of poems books as well. He made his solo directorial debut in 2022 with the documentary film Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble In Mind.
