Raising Arizona
Raising Arizona is a quirky, offbeat, and humorous 1987 Coen Brothers film starring Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter. William Forsythe, John Goodman, Frances McDormand, and Randall Cobb are also featured. Not a blockbuster at the time of its release, it has since achieved the status of a cult film. Typical Coen Brothers fare, the movie is replete with pseudo-symbolism, visual gags, and sardonic dialogue.
