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.
