The Coen Brothers’ FARGO: 30th Anniversary!
(R, 1996, 97 min)
In snowy Minnesota, car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hatches a desperate scheme: hire two criminals to kidnap his wife and extort ransom from her wealthy father. Chaos quickly ensues as the bumbling criminals leave a trail of murder and mayhem. Frances McDormand shines as Marge Gunderson, the sharp-eyed, pregnant local sheriff who slowly unravels the tangled mess. Equal parts chilling suspense and dark comedy, Fargo blends greed, human folly, and the unexpected heroism of ordinary people. Its icy landscapes, deadpan humor, and unforgettable dialogue make this story of crime and consequence as smart as it is darkly hilarious.
