A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
Oft-imitated but never matched, Joel & Ethan Coen (Barton Fink, No Country For Old Men) are among the most celebrated filmmakers working in the world today. With Fargo, a darkly comic crime story set in small town Minnesota, they created one of the defining films of the 1990s.
Desperate for money, small town car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hires two squabbling criminals (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife with a view to extracting a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. But once the kidnapping takes place, nothing goes according to plan, and as the police investigate the bloody fallout, the hole Jerry digs for himself just keeps getting deeper.
Featuring an iconic performance from Frances McDormand as pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson, Fargo’s mix of absurdist wit and shocking violence earned the film acclaim and awards across the globe, including Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay.
