17 years, 7 months ago at Oct 3 13:36 - Joel and Ethan Coen (Miller's Crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou) will release their new film, No Country for Old Men, based on a novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, in November.
I'm super excited to see it. Even the Coens' lesser films (Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers) are lesser only when compared with their previous ouvre, but it looks like this will be anything but a lesser film.
No Country... has already been screened at Cannes and the Toronto Film Festival, and the early reviews are promising.
The IFC Blog says it's "the best thing the Coens have ever done" which is high praise indeed considering their back catalog.
Todd McCarthy at Variety, too, says that No Country... is "one of the their very best films, a bloody classic of its type destined for acclaim."
And Jim Emerson, critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, says the movie is a critical "litmus test": "if you don't get the artistry at work then, I submit, you don't get what movies are."
More info and reviews on the film can be found at IMDB and RottenTomatoes.
