Review of No Country for Old Men (2007) by Cornell W — 29 Mar 2016
While not necessarily an overt crowd-pleaser of a film, "No Country For Old Men" is definitely more of a healthy, stick-to-your-ribs dose of auteuristic filmmaking at its finest. It almost fes like the eponymous Cormac McCarthy novel was tailor-made for the Coen Brothers' hands.
With the pointed nihilism, blistering moral commentary, and occasional kernels of pitch black humor already so intrinsic to McCarthy's story, the Coens' involvement seems inarguably meant to be.
Top this off with some of Roger Deakins' finest camerawork, some excellent sound design, and Javier Bardem's legendary turn as "Anton Chigurh," and you have the makings of a truly memorable cinematic experience.
