Rather than basking in transient glamour, the Coens have focused on making films. And why not? They may be the most talented team working today. A string of successes including the wild "Raising Arizona," the brilliant "Miller's Crossing" and the endearing "Barton Fink" ended recently with a near miss, "The Hudsucker Proxy." After that film, which required a huge budget (by Coen standards) and lots of sound stage shooting, it is no wonder that they opted for a smaller film like "Fargo...

It thrives on death, divorce and debt, and the pink, deferential Brit in the now empty Park Avenue living room is to upper-class America what buzzards once were to luckless prospectors in Arizona. When the famous die, the salesmen perk up--but the trouble is that the really good art and antiques do not necessarily belong to the really famous.
