The Big Lebowski

Joel Coen / US, GB, 1998 / 115 min.

Jeff Bridges, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi and John Goodman shine as ‘the laziest man in L.A. County’ and his bowling buddies, with a stunning guest appearance by a rug. 'It really tied the room together!'

poster The Big Lebowski (Joel Coen, US/GB 1998)
His name’s Lebowski, but he’s not the Lebowski the two debt-collectors at the door think he is. Jeff Lebowski (Bridges) refers to himself as ‘The Dude’ and is a man of many plans, but thanks to his propensity for daydreaming and excessive consumption of hash and acid, these seldom come to fruition. The fact that there just happens to be another Lebowski with a big debt to a producer of porn, well hey, what is The Dude supposed to do about that?
