Fargo is an excellent film, not least because of the characters portrayed within it. (Special mention obviously going to Francis McDortmund as Marge Gundersson) It is unmistakeably a Coen brother's film - both weird and wonderful. Unfortunately it fell victim to its own success. A lot of people seem to have gone to the cinema expecting it to be Pulp Fiction. They were predictably disappointed. For those of us already Fans of the brothers work or who went in with an open mind, this film was wonderful - from the afore-mentioned characterisations to the bleak landscapes to the town (and accent..) itself. It is Blood Simple all over again, but polished to a gleaming shine
