Ethan Coen's 'Drive-Away Dolls' Revives Queer Caper Comedy

The film marks Coen's return to narrative filmmaking, blending '70s B-movie inspiration with a modern queer perspective.

Ethan Coen returns to narrative filmmaking with 'Drive-Away Dolls,' a queer-themed caper comedy co-written with his wife, Tricia Cooke.
The film, inspired by '70s B-movie filmmaking, stars Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as friends on a road trip with a mysterious briefcase.
Coen's departure from filmmaking was a temporary hiatus, as he and Cooke also collaborated on the documentary 'Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind' during the pandemic.
Despite working on solo and joint projects, Ethan Coen plans to continue collaborating with his brother Joel, with a horror film titled 'Honey Don't' in the works.
'Drive-Away Dolls' aims to bring a playful and light-hearted perspective to the queer film genre, differing from Ethan Coen's previous collaborations with his brother.
