From Blood Simple to Hail, Caesar! – test your knowledge on the movies of these modern masters.

In anticipation of Joel and Ethan Coen’s comedy spectacular, Hail, Caesar! (in UK cinemas on 4 March), we invite you to find out how much you really know about the silver screen’s première cinematic siblings.

The quiz will cover their entire careers as directors and writers, from Blood Simple and Raising Arizona through to Inside Llewyn Davis and The Ladykillers – we’re on the search for the ultimate Coens know-all. There will be prizes, special rounds, and a bespoke slideshow for visual enhancement.
