Fargo is the
Coen brothers's dark comedy. Jerry Lundegard (
H. Macy) is a shoddy car salesman who needs money. He therefore hatches a plan where he hires two men (
Buscemi,
Stormare) to kidnap his wife so that his father-in-law will pay the ransom and therefore give him the money he needs. But the plan goes wrong when the hired kidnappers end up murdering people, calling in heavily pregnant, homicide cop Marge Gunderson (
McDormand).
Fargo paints a pitch black picture but adds humour, Mostly from
Steve Buscemi. Buscemi steals the show as loudmouth criminal Carl. He breaks the dark moments of the film with outbursts of genius dialogue. This is definitely my favourite
Coen brothers film so far.
*****Brilliant
