Fargo - Special Edition RC 1
Joel and Ethan Coen's coldest movie if not their coolest: it opens with a whiteout that slowly resolves itself into a desolate Minnesota snowscape. Everybody talks with painful slowness, as if the icy air were freezing their chops; the resulting mood is lugubrious and oddly winning. The story, about a hopeless businessman (William H. Macy) who hires a couple of crooks (Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi) to kidnap his wife, offers the usual Coen compound of random daftness and concentrated violence. Frances McDormand has a high old time as the police chief of the town of Brainerd; she enters the plot late and, decent and unhurried (her character is seven months pregnant), plods steadily toward a solution. 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.
