The genius called "Coen Bros"

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2010)

Heard quite a lot about "Coen Bros" but never really got around to watch any of their body of work. When I watched "Fargo" today I was spellbound by the cinematic genius('es). Considering this movie is about 15-years old it would be an understatement to say that their writing and cinematic sensibilities is beyond expression.
The characterisation of each actor leaves an impression. For instance unlike other movies in "Fargo" a cop is just not a character, he has a life too, a family and emotions. Unlike a cog-in-the-wheel the writing goes a bit deeper to flesh out the character more effectively thereby making them more true-to-life and connectable.
Performance wise, as stated earlier every character is a gem.
۩ William Hacey:: The backbone of the plot and hence he ought to have delivered good in good condition. He delivers to the utmost perfection. Perhaps the best in his career.
۩ Steve Buscemi:: A hidden gem then as opposed to now. And his spark showed way back then. A very natural and gifted actor.
۩ Frances McDormand:: She literally gets into the skin of the Marge.
۩ Harve Presnell:: very regal and assertive performance.
The dark humour is plenty and slightly shocking, which is kind of expected. The background music is paced well with the narrative and does linger in the head for a while.
Watch it once and you can be absolutely certain to come back and relish the characters all over again.
