This classic is part of our "Morgenstond" series, which consists of seven films shown on Wednesday mornings, featuring an introduction by Kevin Toma and a free cup of coffee or tea.
A wild neo-noir comedy by the Coen brothers about a childless couple (Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter) who decide to adopt one of the quintuplets from another family, making their lives more complicated than they had expected.
In their unrivaled, visually rich style, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen tell the story of Hi (Nicholas Cage), a down-and-out criminal, and Ed (Holly Hunter), the police officer who falls head over heels for Hi after their umpteenth encounter. When their desperate desire to have a child goes unfulfilled, they decide to kidnap one of the babies from “Furniture King” Nathan’s set of quintuplets. But of course, he’s not going to take that lying down!
