The Coen Brothers have an exceptionally spectacular body of work. They truly understand how to weave dialogue into the fabric of their films and always preserve the essence of true cinema. They're up there with Nolan, Fincher and Tarantino - modern film-makers with a deep passion for the material they adopt. And with Fargo, there's a familiarity with the narrative, but the twists and turns in the plot keep it from feeling cliché.
Set In 1987, the manager of a car dealership in Minneapolis concocts a scheme to resolve his money woes. But when things don't go according to plan all bets are off, and an agreement that first unfolded in a place called Fargo ends in a chain of unexpected events.
To take three-dimensional characters and create a space where every word is like poetry with a splash of dry wit here and a dash of benevolence there, the Coens give purpose to every dark and beautiful moment we experience. From the beginnings of a seemingly Greek-Tragedy, the cast capture the hair-splitting idiosyncrasies of life in a way that co-exists naturally with the macabre humour this writer/director team is so adept at delivering.
And this is why I passionately adore cinema. It's not enough that I fell in love with William H. Macy's groundbreaking performance, or that I developed an insatiable hunger for writing scripts after analysing the film when it was initially released. It's that projects like this continue to show how vast the world of cinema is, and how endless the well of talent will always be.
