Fargo
UK Release Date: 31 May 1996 Certification: 18 Director: Joel Coen Cast: Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, Harve Presnell, Kristin Rudrüd, Peter Stormare Rating: 78% "Ya, ya betcha." Review: 1996's Fargo is perhaps one of the best of the Coen Brother's career. Their quirky filmmaking and strange characters are present as always but there's a certain subtlety about the film that sets it apart from anything else like it. The characters brought to life in Fargo are all worth studying. You can tell almost every aspect of each of their personalities from one action. Frances McDormand obviously deserved all the plaudits for her performance as simpleton Marge Gunderson, winning an Oscar. Her character is so straightforward and yet she is one of the most relatable characters ever brought to the big screen. William H. Macy stars as Jerry Lundegaard who can't be described as a 'bad guy' as his intentions are understandable, if stupid.
