Fargo 1996
A large car salesman in Minneapolis is in poor financial condition, suffering from severe debt. Lundegaard is a car salesman who has acted strangely, renting two thugs to kidnap his wife and get money from her rich father to pay back his accumulated debts. After planning a large number of thugs, Jerry has already received a ransom paid by his stepfather to thugs who gave part of him and kept the rest. It was not over yet when a thug fired at a soldier after the kidnapping and things got worse. The shedding of blood, violence and criminality because of that process makes things different from what was planned. A clever police officer from Minnesota will intervene in these bad cases, a man known for his stubbornness in solving these criminal cases.

Not only did the Coens return from the brink, but they gave us one of the most memorable (if not the most memorable) characters in modern cinema.April 29, 2014
Deceptive in its storytelling choices, economical with its plotting, and sly with its dialogue, this Oscar winner is truly incredible.April 21, 2014
A small, supremely satisfying film. Heck and you betcha, it is.April 21, 2014
You have to grant the Coens their due as creators of suspense, mood and plotting, and for their ability to color the most monstrous crimes with an undeniably funny sense of the absurd.April 21, 2014
It's another daring black comedy by one of the most consistently inventive moviemaking teams of the last decade, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.April 21, 2014
Fargo, with its grotesque murders and cheery detectives, is a cold gem that takes us to the far north. Its seemingly pitiless light opens up the realms of darkness concealed beneath that world of white.April 21, 2014
From the camera angles to the set design, everything is calculated to make the viewer feel superior to the cloddish, geeky characters on display.April 21, 2014
A few scenes go around in circles, as if snow-blind, and the humor may be too inward and contorted for some tastes. But McDormand brings order to the weirdness and warms it up.March 10, 2016
Two words. Marge Gunderson.April 21, 2014
McDormand is brilliant, Macy terrific, Presnell perfect, Buscemi fabulous. And Stormare is fascinating as one of the deadliest and most horrid big-screen killers in recent memory. Fargo is a down-and-dirty doozy.January 19, 2016
The film is a work of brick-by-brick world-building in the service of characters whose ordinariness is just as carefully crafted.April 21, 2014
Returning to the horror-comic vein that launched their careers, director Joel Coen and producer Ethan Coen pepper their new picture with so much humor that the occasional bursts of sheer mayhem seem more ridiculous than revolting.
