Fargo
1996 | Crime | USA | Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
Overview
A car salesman hires kidnappers to stage an abduction, and Minnesota niceness meets escalating gore. Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson, pregnant and unstoppable, won the Oscar. The Coens deadpan precision: a wood chipper, pancakes, and a true story claim that is not true. Roger Deakins snow-white cinematography. Midwest gothic. Oh ya, you betcha.
