The Man Who Wasn’t There – 4K at GFT
Monday 27th July, 2026 7.45 p.m.
Concljuding the long running Coen Brothers of the Month season with a special screening of one of the most intriguing and visually striking films in their filmography, in a brand new 4K restoration.
Before the screening there will be a live zoom Q&A with writer and critic Adam Nayman, author of The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together, hosted by Glasgow Film Head of Programme Paul Gallagher.
In The Man Who Wasn’t There, Billy Bob Thornton stars as a disaffected barber in 1940s California whose suspicion that his wife (Frances McDormand) is cheating on him leads him down a crooked path of blackmail and murder. Fusing the expressionistic black and white and hard-boiled poetry of classic noir with their own idiosyncratic feeling for sinister, surreal Americana, Joel and Ethan Coen craft an arresting vision of the cruelty of fate and the mystery of our place in the cosmos.
GFT 12 Rose Street, G 6RB
