No Country for Old Men

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2020)

It's amazing that Oscar has awarded the best film to such a dark work. Harvey Baden's slayer of the spring gun is as cold-blooded as death. The narration is calm and abstemious, but most of the time it is frightening. The desolate Texas wasteland reflects the powerlessness and fragility of the individual in front of the mysterious evil. When the mood is stretched to the limit, the Cohen brothers directly omit the climax, leaving only the dry and staring audience to taste the despair and nothingness in silence.
