The Big Lebowski: Why The F*ck
I t’s one of the best loved films of the 1990s – but did you know that the Coen brothers’ slacker odyssey is also one of the sweariest films ever made? Specifically, The Big Lebowski features no fewer than 280 F-bombs in its two-hour runtime, dropped by Jeff Bridges and co at a staggering swear-rate of 2.4 per minute. And with good reason…

To celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary, we’ve commissioned video essayist Luís Azevedo (aka  Beyond the Frame ) to take a closer look the Coens’ cuss-filled classic. He discovered that their original script uses swear words to highlight the characters’ emotional states.
