Poster for the Coens' 'A Serious Man'

Hot off the e-mail, it's the first official poster for Joel and Ethan Coen's A Serious Man. If you've seen the trailer - and you should - then you know already that this is closer in tone to the handful of movies that made the Coens household names. It appears to be comedic without being slapstick, odd without being unapproachable, and squarely focused on characters who ought not be doing what they're doing. My hunch is this is the first movie poster for actor Michael Stuhlbarg, who portrays a professor at the end of his rope.
