The Big Lebowski
1998 | Comedy | USA | Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
Overview
The Dude abides. A case of mistaken identity over a soiled rug pulls a slacker bowler into a Chandler plot that keeps collapsing into bowling, nihilists, and a ferret in the bathtub. A box office shrug in 1998, now the most devoutly quoted comedy of its era, with festivals, religions, and conventions. Bridges created an American archetype by doing almost nothing.
