Fargo review

Posted : 1 month ago on 9 October 2009 10:15 (A review of Fargo)

Considering Joel and Ethan are both from Minnesota, they obviously decided to take the most eccentric cultural cliche's from the state and it's citizens, and incorperate it into a strange murder mystery (which is not based on real events despite what they say). Joel and Ethan have a unique talent for creating bizzarish characters with unique qualities which definately adds a creative flavor to the film. Having once lived in Minneapolis for over 20 years however it's safe to say the Swedish accents, goofiness and Hot Dish cliche's applied to everyone is a little over the top.

Aside from the characters and their situations the plot isn't all that interesting, more strange and slightly facinating because of the atmosphere, which was helped by shooting almost entirely on overcast days. Altogether an artfully made film that is unique and above average.
