The Hudsucker Proxy
1994 · TMDB 7.1
Directed by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
A naive business graduate is installed as president of a manufacturing company as part of a stock scam.
Why it matters
A Coen brothers screwball comedy about a naive inventor whose hula hoop becomes a corporate battleground. The film's cartoonish logic and rapid-fire dialogue mirror the absurdity of a legal system trying to contain slapstick energy.
