O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?
AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET
Another brilliant movie, this one is more recent (from 2000), even more strange (it’s loosely based on The Odyssey, but about as loosely as you can get), and has almost as much pivotal music. George Clooney plays one of a small group of convicts on the run from a chain gang – and finding the time, while traversing the Depression-era South as fugitives, to record a hit record and make public appearances in disguise, singing “Man of Constant Sorrow.” Amazing. And somehow, it all works.
