What follows after the confusion forms the rest of the story!!!Review:
1) Characterisation as well as selection of cast for the characters has been very well done by the director.
2) Story in Coen movies has always interesting me with their twisted nature. Same can be said for this movie too. A crafty story.
3) The usual dark comedy that Coen movies carry was very much present in the movie.
4) Had a bit of difficulty catching up with the minnesota slang. :)Rating: 5/5
Trivia:
1) Fargo is a place in the North Dakota
2) Film opens up with a text that it is a true story. Even though it is fictional, Coen brothers mention that the movie contains many incidents that they have read or seen around.
3) Frances Mc Dormand received Academy award for the Best Actress. Coen Brothers for the Academy award for Writing Original Screenplay.
4) The film went on to win numerous nominations and awards across the globe and is ranked high by many reviewers.
5) In 2006, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Verdict:
A very interesting movie with an even more interesting story and character line that can definitely give you a nice watch.
Easily one of my favorites among the work of Coen Brothers.
