unlikely partnerships

The Coen Brothers consistently explore unlikely alliances between morally opposed characters who must collaborate, from No Country for Old Men to Fargo.

His films systematically examine cross-class and cross-ideological partnerships that challenge social hierarchies, most prominently in Parasite and Snowpiercer.

Truffaut's humanistic approach frequently depicted unlikely relationships between outsiders and authority figures, criminals and police, as seen in Jules and Jim and The 400 Blows.
