I wouldnt leave out Badem's hair style either--nor the very strange way that people pass by each other without connecting. (Are the only connections deaths?) That at least provided some difference from the run of the mill movie type.
But as for the definite lack of eucatastrophe, indeed, a very telling reason why the Cohen Brothers would be, as you said, "unnatural" to direct TH.
Now, to return to a movie
StW suggested: if ET could appeal both to children and adults--as did
Aladdin--why can not a movie of TH? Why would the producers/writers/director have to choose either the adult or the child frame of reference?
