Review of No Country for Old Men (2007) by Grant S — 18 Apr 2014
The Coen Brothers rank amongst my favourite writers/directors, regardless of whether they are doing comedy (Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, O Brother Where Art Thou?) or drama (Fargo, Millers Crossing, Barton Fink, The Man Who Wasn't There).
This is a Coen drama but if there is a Coen-drama formula, they have just redefined it, and indeed potentially rewritten how all thriller-dramas are written and directed.
One of the most original movie structures and plots I have seen, up there with Memento in terms of innovativeness.
Truly a modern masterpiece.
