Ethan Coen: The Coen brothers circle
The Coens used Barry Sonnenfeld as cinematographer through
Miller's Crossing; then Sonnenfeld left to direct his own films and has had great success at it with The Addams Family, Get Shorty,
and, most notably, Men in Black. Roger A. Deakins has been the Coen brothers' cinematographer since Sonnenfeld's departure.
Sam Raimi also helped write
The Hudsucker Proxy, which the Coen brothers directed; and the Coen brothers helped write Crimewave, which Raimi directed; Raimi took tips about filming A Simple Plan
from the Coen brothers, who had recently finished Fargo (both films are set in blindingly white snow, which reflects a lot of light and can make metering for a correct exposure tricky).
The Coen brothers frequently cast actors
John Turturro, Michael Badalucco,
Steve Buscemi, Frances McDormand,
John Goodman, and Jon Polito, all of whom have appeared in at least three Coen productions.
All of their films had been scored by Carter Burwell, with the exception of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", scored by T-Bone Burnett.

Review:
All the Academy Awards that Joel and Ethan Coen won for No
Country for Old Men produced an unintended effect: It made the
outlaw brothers respectable. That's got to be driving them nuts.
(Have any Oscar winners ever looked more miserable on camera?)
Luckily, the idiot-boy side of the Coens barrels out whenever
prestige threatens to choke their rebel spirit. Blood
Simple begat Raising Arizona, Barton Fink
begat The Hudsucker Proxy, and Fargo begat
(hello, stoner heaven) The Big Lebowski. For me, the only
time the slide into silly didn't work was when The Man Who
Wasn't There begat the twin low points in the Coen canon,
Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers.
Burn After Reading will have No Country
converts running for cover. Instead of a subtle walk through Cormac
McCarthy territory,...
