A lot of genially can happen in the middle of Coen

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2003)

FARGO (1996) spoilers((( Fargo is something special, special movie actually. It shimmers those days, lost and cold, it shows off some stuff that can hardly be explained with words. The story is gripping, interesting and almost funny cause of its weird sense of laugh and dramatic. The actors are superb, the music is genius, the directing and writing is perfect-and threw this; we get Fargo.
William H. Macy plays the main character as Jerry, a car salesman that does some dirty business with some dirty men about getting her wife away for some days and pay some dirty b****rds, called Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare.
Well, the thing is; the movie is all threw genius. The cold, lonely fields filled with snow and frost is simply so...its gripping sort of. Frances McDormand plays the role as the the female officer also perfect. Blood gets spilled and its also funny; scenes where the two crooks walks right into Jerry's home and kidnaps his wife is so..odd that it gets funny actually, and there's more; but it is peculiar fun.
The main melody is very nice, the viola playing soft and a beautiful melody is really great and fits perfectly into the movie's cold and dark mood. There also happens dramatic things: as when Buscemi and Stormare gets stopped by a cop with the kidnapped wife in the back, Buscemi tries sorting it out but then Stormare blows his head off, and then Buscemi walks out and starts dragging the body away, but then a couple of car lights is seen in the dark..ops! Well, this gets to something bloody too. Or the Fargo-scene number one at the finale as we see Stormare packing the body of Buscemi down in a woodchipper and blood all over the snow and place, really dirty!

Joel and Ethan Coen is a couple of brothers that knows more about movie making then most others, they make films that are stunning, as for example MILLER'S CROSSING, THE BIG LEBOWSKI and O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? They're all sort of weird, but very good. But this one; takes the cake, its thee Coen movie. Based on a true story, the movie has follows the history correctly except that they've changed the names of the persons involved.
STARS: ***** 5/5 (its one of those movies)
